Dashi (broth) is one of the most important ingredients in Japanese cooking.
It usually involves a long process of boiling dry kombu and adding bonito shavings and straining it. While the end product is quite satisfying, it is too time consuming for weekday cooking.
But fear no more, with dashi from Kayanoya, cooking is actually fun again.
They have an English site for their products and shop locations so check this out for their lineup. The diary page has beautiful pictures, too.

If you do not cook Japanese food, the vegetable dashi, the right product in the picture, is perfect.
This consomme style dashi is made from five powdered vegetables: onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and cabbage. They contain no artificial flavors or preservatives. You can use it to season soups or pasta or fried rice or stir fried vegetables or... the list goes on. It has no Japanese flavoring in it which makes it useful for everything.
They are in convenient little paper bags that you can drop in boiling water or rip open to add to your ingredients.
Enjoy!
