Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Dashi on Weee! includes Ajinomoto Hondashi, Kuze Fuku and Sons Dashi and Kayanoya Dashi packs.

Hondashi is Ajinomoto's brand of instant dashi granules flavored with bonito. You dissolve it in hot water as a quick substitute for homemade dashi.

How do you make dashi?

Soak kombu in water, heat gently, remove it before boiling, then add bonito flakes, steep briefly and strain. For a shortcut, dissolve instant dashi granules or steep a dashi pack in hot water.

What is the difference between dashi and shiro dashi?

Dashi is a basic unseasoned broth, while shiro dashi is a concentrated seasoning made with dashi, white soy sauce and mirin, so it is already seasoned. Kikkoman Shiro Dashi and Yamaki Kappo Shiro Dashi are examples.

What can I substitute for dashi?

Instant dashi granules or packs are the easiest substitute. In a pinch, a light chicken or vegetable stock with a splash of soy sauce also works, but the flavor will be different.

How should I store dashi?

Store instant dashi granules in a cool, dry place with the lid closed, and refrigerate homemade or liquid dashi after opening. Follow the storage directions on each package.
