Powdered dashi

This is Hon Dashi, Ajinomoto’s flagship product. I’ve been looking for dashi everywhere and these dashi granules (8 packets per bag) seemed most practical in terms of storage. Bought them at the Antipolo branch of Shopwise.

For the uninitiated, dashi is a soup stock which is the base for many Japanese soups and stews, including the very popular miso soup. It is made with the flakes of a fish called bonito (a variety of tuna).

    Hi! My family loves Japanese food and I’ve attempted to make some sushi with moderate success. I have yet to try making miso soup which my daughter really likes. Are dashi and miso expensive? My brother once gave us instant miso soup mix which was rather okay but I would rather make it from scratch.

    Powdered dashi is around P130 per pack of 8. Japanese miso is a bit expensive at around 250 per box but it lasts a long time.
