Experience the concentrated, authentic depth of northern Japan. Crafted by Hokkaido Kensho, this premium liquid dashi is brewed exclusively from Ne Kombu, the highly prized, nutrient-dense root section of wild-harvested Hidaka kombu seaweed from Hokkaido’s pristine coastal waters.


Why It's Exceptional:


Concentrated Root Umami: The root (Ne Kombu) holds the highest natural concentration of minerals and glutamic acids, delivering a profoundly rich, deeply savory profile far surpassing standard leaf dashi.

Traditional Three-Day Brew: Meticulously simmered over three days using time-honored techniques to gently extract every layer of umami without scorching or compromise.

Thick, Unctuous Texture: A viscous, chef-grade liquid concentrate. A single spoonful effortlessly elevates both traditional Japanese broths and modern Western reductions.

Pure & All-Natural: Clean label formulation highlighting authentic regional ingredients with zero artificial flavor enhancers.

How To Use:

Dilute a splash into classic miso soups, hot pots (nabe), and udon broths. Alternatively, use it undiluted as a secret umami booster for risottos, pan sauces, gravies, and marinades.

Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

  • Seasoning for Rice & Noodles: Mix a few drops into a bowl of hot rice, or stir into udon or ramen broth, for an instant flavour boost.
  • Stir-Fries: Use a few drops as a seasoning for stir-fried vegetables or tofu to create an umami-packed side dish.
