Uneno’s dashi packs are in a class by themselves, because they use only the best natural ingredients they can find. When I am cooking something vegetarian at home I often use konbu dashi, but these vegetarian dashi packs have taken vegan dashi to another level. It has a wonderful vegetable soup aroma and the taste is similar to konbu dashi with gently simmered vegetables. These dashi packs are incredibly versatile, meaning you can use these for vegetable broths for any type of cuisine, like when making a simple vegetable soup or just use it where you want a wonderful vegetarian broth. My personal favorites are Okonomiyaki, miso soups, etc.
Instructions For Use: Fill a medium pot with 400 - 500 ml (approximately 2 cups) of water. Place 1 dashi pack in the water, place the pot on the stove and turn on the flame to high. When the water boils, turn down the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove dashi pack before using dashi.

Dried shiitake mushrooms are such an important player in Japanese cuisine because they add so much umami. Takehisa’s Donko Dried Shiitake are some of the best because they are grown slowly over the winter, which amplifies their earthy umami, flavor and aroma.
These make delicious dashi, boiled dishes and bases for soup. They’re also really great for Chinese recipes because of their thick texture. Secret tip: they’re perfect to eat after they have been rehydrated - so don’t throw them away!

Nitto Jozo’s Vegetarian Shirodashi starts with a base of their White Tamari, which is made up of only wheat, salt and water. Then Ninagawa-san skillfully incorporates shiitake, dried daikon radish, rice vinegar, sea salt, mirin and Ma Konbu. The dried daikon and rice vinegar give this a wonderful funkiness. This condiment is meant for finishing, meaning when you just want to add a burst of flavor at the end of preparing dishes like soups, dressings, etc. The president of Nitto Jozo, Ninagawa-san says this is super delicious over steamed or boiled vegetables. It also works great when making rolled omelets (like our Dashi Maki Tamago recipe).

A truly elegant tasting experience is Suehiro's double brewed soy sauce (saishikomi). To make double brewed soy sauce, first Suehiro makes a 'regular' batch using soybeans, wheat, salt, water & koji. They then brew another batch of soy sauce, except this time Suehiro omits the salt and water and instead uses the first batch of soy sauce. This produces a soy sauce with a deeper, softer flavor and more viscous texture than regular soy sauce. It is also surprisingly less salty than regular soy sauce. Great for dipping your fish, double brewed soy sauce can also be used to make an amazing ice cream - yes, ice cream (think salty caramel...here's the recipe).
Produced from only Japanese-grown soybeans, wheat and natural sea salt.

When we first tried this smoked shoyu, Chris and I were stunned at how refined it tasted. Counterbalancing Yugeta-san’s smoked soy sauce, which has an intense smoke flavor, Suehiro’s version, made with Koikuchi (dark) soy sauce, offers a gentle smoke flavor from a mixture of beech and oak wood. The result is very light smoke flavor flanked by wonderful notes of umami, soy and caramel. This unique condiment is great for adding subtle smoke flavor in dressings, sauces, broths, etc. Whenever you want to add a lightly smoky shoyu to a dish, this is your soy sauce!

These shavings from Matoba Suisan are made from katsuobushi known as Arabushi, which is skipjack tuna that has been poached and smoked. The fact that each step is done by hand demonstrates Matoba-san’s dedication to artisanal, traditional production methods.
They have a wonderfully smoky, slightly salty, rich umami flavor that adds depth to dishes. This thick shaved katsuobushi is used for making a deep, strong, clean flavored dashi, but remember to let it steep for at least 20 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the more intense your dashi will be.

These flakes from Matoba Suisan are made from katsuobushi known as Karebushi, which is skipjack tuna that has been poached, smoked and then repeatedly taken through a cycle of fermentation and sun drying. The fermenting process is laborious, takes at least 6 months to produce and creates katsuobushi that yields a deeper, rounder, more nuanced umami.
