Shimaya Awase Dashi Powder (Bonito and Kelp Soup Stock) [English instructions on the back] 1.48 oz (6 gram x 7 packets)

Although making dashi is pretty easy to make, these packets make it easy to make dashi for quick meals! Doesn’t take salty so I like that I can adjust the taste to my preferences. I’ll definitely buy more when I start to run out!

Awase Dashi Powder with No MSG (Bonito and Kelp Soup Stock) is one of the best "instant" powder mixes/soup bases I've come across. It is very flavorful with a fresh, authentic and well balanced bonito and kelp taste. And no MSG! YAY! - although I do enjoy its added umami flavor, I'm one of evidently a fair number of people who is sensitive to MSG (among several reactions it really triggers Rosacea flare-ups.)These packets store well in the pantry and are very convenient for use as a soup base for udon or soba and with added miso paste make a lovely miso soup, - also quick and easy for a spur of the moment ramen snack.(ALERT for those with certain dietary restrictions: - although this instant base makes a soup which does not taste very "salty" it is NOT a low sodium product.)I am so pleased with this product, I am a repeat customer.

I was eating purely potatoes and vegetables for about 3 months. I would add this whenever I made soup and soup always turned out delicious and healthy.

I used it to make a dipping sauce for tempura shrimp. The flavor made it special.

I order these packets when I’m too lazy to go to the store!Great for Korean cuisine.Value for money: comes with a good amount for the price

I love dashi and these individual packs of bonita are hard to find.

Interesting and tasty.

The Miso soup I made tasted just like at a restaurant! The product contains several packets and English instructions, but each internal packet makes four servings. I only want a single or maybe a double serving when eating at work SO I simply emptied the packets into a small, plastic container and use a level teaspoon for each portion. Controlling the Sodium level is also more easily done this way too.
