Ajinomoto - Hon Dashi (Soup Stock) 4.23 Oz.

There's almost no end to the uses for these granules. From a substitute for Bonito flakes when making miso soup to a flavor packed sprinkle of umami on you're favorite food.As a cook who enjoys making Asian recipes, I consider this as important as salt and pepper, and always keep it just as handy.Hondashi contains monosodium glutamate (MSG).While some people are turned off by MSG, they would usually be very surprised to find that many foods they consume are naturally packed with it! Foods such as mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and even nuts naturally contain MSG.While a very small group of folks ARE 'msg intolerant', the vast majority of those who refuse to consume it should look into the most recent research. It's not the food equivalent to the 'boogy man' as once thought to be the case.I should also mention that the shelf life of this is very long. You only need to store it in an air-tight container (such as a zip-lock bag) and in a dark cool area. I keep mine in the refrigerator, sealed in a half pint Ball jar.

Good flavor and easy to make

Recommended. Great product. Good Quality. Exactly as described and expected.

It’s taste the same as one I usually buy in Japan.

I really like this stock and this brand!

I got this because I wanted to make my own Miso soup but didn't want to make the dashi by scratch. This comes as 2 sizable bags of little pellets. A little goes a long way with this, so I expect this to last a while. Make sure to refrigerate it after opening though. I'm not knowledgeable in dashi or Japanese cuisine in general, but I think the broth this makes is tasty. Good value.

This worked perfectly for my Lions mane mushroom soup recipe.

Good for my miso soup
