Dashi and fish

If you wish to embark on preparing your own Japanese dashi, we have all the necessary products to recreate this traditional recipe at home. Dashi is prepared by infusing ingredients in cold or lukewarm water, and there are several ways to do this depending on your tastes and preferences. The basic ingredients for a homemade dashi broth include kombu seaweed, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried bonito flakes katsuobushi, or dried sardines, depending on the type of dashi you wish to prepare. Bonito dashi is particularly prized for its richness and powerful flavour, while the addition of shiitake and kombu creates a milder, vegan version without compromising on depth of flavour. At Nishikidôri, we offer premium Japanese products to prepare a homemade dashi just like a true Japanese chef. You will find bonito flakes, kombu seaweed, dried shiitake mushrooms and much more to prepare a dashi broth with rich and authentic flavours.

For those looking for an even quicker, ready-to-use preparation, our range of ready-to-use dashi stocks is the ideal solution. These stocks are already cooked, balanced and ready to use in your favourite recipes. Prepared exclusively from kombu seaweed and shiitake mushrooms, they offer a rich Japanese dashi base, infused with the unique flavour of umami. Another very popular option is the vegan dashi stock, such as the one offered by Fueki Shoyu, a Japanese producer that uses traditional brewing methods to make a quality soy sauce. This soy sauce is then used as the base for a 100% vegan dashi stock, delivering a rich umami flavour without any animal-derived products. This stock is perfect for lovers of vegan cuisine in search of an authentic and natural flavour. Dashi powders are also a quick solution. Thanks to this convenient format, you can easily prepare a quality dashi stock.
