A Natural Manufacturing Method that Condenses Umami

Natural manufacturing method explanation

By applying high temperature and pressure to the raw materials and filtering them naturally, the proteins are broken down into a state just one step before being absorbed as amino acids (peptized state). Because the molecules are so small, it is absorbed into the body in about 30 minutes without placing a burden on the digestive organs.

Since the umami is also condensed, it has a stronger flavor than commercially available dashi powders.

Since no salt or similar ingredients are added, it can be safely consumed by everyone from babies to the elderly. For those who care about their family's health, are on a diet, or play sports, it allows anyone to easily add fish-centered nutrition to their daily meals.

Astonishing Nutritional Value

Nutritional value infographic

A single packet (10g) contains the whole nutrition of 3 to 4 Japanese sardines. (100g contains the nutritional equivalent of about 30 sardines and 130g of kelp.)

Strong Umami Without Salt and No Fishy Smell

No salt, no fishy smell feature explanation

Common powdered dashi is mainly used for "flavoring food," and often requires the hassle of boiling or contains added salt to create umami.

Through a manufacturing method that makes the most of its ingredients, this Umami Dashi Powder dissolves completely in water or hot water, eliminating the need for heating. It's a quick and mess-free solution for busy people who want to make good food everyday.

Furthermore, because excess fat is removed from the raw materials, it is highly resistant to oxidation and its greatest feature is having almost no fishy smell.

Product Development Story

The predecessor of the manufacturer of the "Ultimate All-Purpose Umami Dashi" originally worked in fish processing and the manufacturing and sales of delicacies. While processing massive amounts of fish every day, he was deeply troubled by the large amount of waste—about 60% of the fish, including the heads, organs, and bones.

"Is there a way to use the entire life of the fish we've been blessed with?"

This prompted the manufacturer to begin an intensive research and development effort for new machinery. Over the course of about 40 years, they finally established a unique, cutting-edge manufacturing method that incorporates the natural phenomena of "vacuum," "pressure," and "filtration." By placing the whole ingredients into this special machine, they succeeded in removing excess fat while peptizing the proteins.

We at Kawashimaya deeply resonate with the creator's passionate desire to "contribute to the dietary life and health of the nation," and we are delivering this ultimate, energy-packed dashi to everyone.

Great for Everyday Cooking! How to Use the Dashi

Because it is in powder form and dissolves easily in water, it elevates the umami of any dish—whether Japanese, Western, or Chinese—just by sprinkling it on. As a daily health habit, we highly recommend drinking it as a morning and evening soup.

Q&A About Ultimate All-Purpose Umami Dashi Powder

Does it have a fishy smell?

The special manufacturing process thoroughly removes the excess fat contained in the raw materials, so it does not oxidize easily and has almost no fishy smell.
