UMAMI dashi Bonito and Kombu kelp

Rich, Layered Dashi Broth from Premium Bonito and Rishiri Kombu
Carefully crafted from aromatic bonito flakes and savory Rishiri kombu kelp, this dashi offers a deep, well-rounded umami flavor. The smoky richness of the bonito perfectly enhances the clean, refined taste of kelp, creating a beautifully balanced broth. It adds depth and elegance to soups, stews, and everyday dishes.

 Synergistic Effect of Bonito and Kombu

When bonito flakes and kombu kelp are combined to make dashi, they create a synergistic effect that results in a deeper, more complex umami flavor. This is because inosinate from the bonito and glutamate from the kombu enhance each other, making the umami taste more intense than when either is used alone. This phenomenon, known as the “synergistic effect of umami,” significantly elevates the deliciousness of a dish.

“No Chemical Seasonings or Preservatives Added”

This product brings out the natural umami of its ingredients through scientific analysis and the refined skills of seasoned experts—without relying on any chemical seasonings or preservatives.

Using ON THE UMAMI’s proprietary technology, the natural variation found in ingredients is refined into a stable, consistent taste—so you can enjoy the same delicious flavor every day without getting tired of it.
