Maekawa-taste　Natural Soup Stock pack, 10gx25P　Special Selection, Japanese Dashi, Product in Japan

This is great for making easy, healthy dashi. The taste is complex, not overly fishy and really incorporates the dried shiitake and kelp. There are a enough bags to make gallons of stock but convenient enough to make a few cups for easy miso. No added msg is a bonus. The bags won't tear or open when boiling. The resealable package is thick and does not allow the scent of the ingredients to escape and helps keep the product fresh. This is a staple in my pantry.

This is the better and quicker way to make some dashi stock, without all the nasty additives typical of dried powders. I tried two bags (you get 25 with this purchase) initially in around four cups of boiling water then next batch one bag for that amount of water. Both times I had to add water as the ten minute steeping time, even with the pot covered, lost quite a bit as steam. However, the broth wasn't bad tasting just extremely strong; this type of dashi includes smoked sardine and from the moment you open the package to pull a bag that is all you can smell and subsequently taste. A longer way to make a better dashi is using; YUHO Kombu Dried Seaweed Sun Dried No Preservatives No Sand, All Natural 14.10 Oz (7.05 Oz Bag Pack of 2) [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MZTSTD6 ] Kaneso Tokuyou Hanakatsuo , Dried Bonito Flakes 3.52 Ounce (2 Bags) [ https://www.amazon.com/Kaneso-Tokuyou-Hanakatsuo-Bonito-Flakes/dp/B01H6K8FXU ] Unfortunately this also means having to strain stuff out of the stock before adding other ingredients. Soak two 4x10" pieces of the kombu overnight (or at least twenty minutes) in 4-5 cups of water, after wiping down the dried leaves with a damp paper towel. Remove the kombu then add 2 cups of bonito flakes. Bring to a boil and simmer for ten minutes. Strain the stock and begin making your soup.

Nice bonito flakes in this mix for dashi soup stock. Unfortunately, my dog thought it was quite delicious and stole the packet after I opened it. I got one batch of dashi before Fido made off with it, but it was very good. Better than the powder with MSG.

This is a truely authentic dashi stock which makes a flavorful dashi. The miso soup I make using this dashi stock tastes so delicious and makes me feel like I am back home!

Didn’t have enough flavor

Smells great. can barely taste it. changing the amount of water does not improve taste. boiling it for 20 minutes does not improve taste.

I’m Japanese and have lived in Japan for 12 years total, so I hope I have a clue as to what I’m talking about. I also have hereditary high blood pressure! (Figures) Having been on low sodium diet for most of my adult life, having a convenient and authentic way to make low sodium dashi is a must, and this is it! Sure, it’s not the best of the best, but neither is my cooking! I highly recommend this for most of your dashi needs.

The package created very good soup stock. The stock was very tasty. May be too 'sweet' for those who were not used the Japanese umami taste.

コスパが良ければ、またリピートしたい

Le prix est correct pour la quantité 25 sachets de 10g chacuns ! Que les vrais ingrédients, pas d'ajouts artificiels ! Comme dirait les japonais ''riche en umami'' ! Se fier à ce qui est écrit en français, les dates sont bien indiquées, sinon il faut juste lire les dates à l'envers. Instructions correctes lorsqu'on les traduits !

コスパ考えたら、天然物ではいいお出汁がいただけます。

A la reception de ce produit seulement 20 jours avant la date de preremption. Impossible a consommer en si peu de temps.

化学調味料無添加でやさしい風味の出汁が取れます。しかし私にとっては薄いです。数時間水に浸けてからの出すのですが、色がほとんど変わらず薄いです。お吸いものにするならばいいかもしれませんが味噌汁だと物足りない感じ。値段は安いですが、コスパは良くないと思いました。
