Konbu Dashi is a broth made from a blend of three types of konbu and donko shiitake mushrooms. It is an excellent choice when you want to enhance umami in a pure form without adding the rich, seafood-based flavors of katsuobushi (bonito flakes) or niboshi (dried small fish). This dashi is also ideal for vegetarians and those who want to highlight the natural taste of ingredients.

By combining glutamic acid from konbu and guanylic acid from dried shiitake mushrooms, the umami effect is amplified 12 times, creating a deep umami without the need for any animal-derived ingredients.

Unlock the Full Umami

Water is a critical component for the best dashi experience.


Soft water is essential for drawing out the clean, deep flavor of dashi, especially in kombu-based blends.


While Japan naturally has soft water, many regions in the US do not. Hard water can suppress umami and even introduce bitterness.


That’s why we’re proud to partner with Cleansui to bring you their new Culinary Water System, developed specifically for dashi and tea. If you're in a hard water area, we recommend using Cleansui's Culinary Water Pitcher to get the most from your dashi.
