YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Umami Dashi Stock Packets — 15 x 8g Sachets, Ready-to-Use Japanese Soup Base with Kelp & Bonito

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Umami Dashi Stock Packets are single-serve Japanese soup base sachets that deliver rich, layered dashi flavor quickly and cleanly.

These compact 8g tea-bag style packets make authentic Japanese dashi simple to prepare at home—perfect for miso, ramen, udon, hot pots, sauces, and more. Crafted in Kyoto with a blend of kelp, dried fish extracts, shiitake, and even gyokuro and hojicha teas, each packet concentrates traditional umami depth without artificial colors or flavors. The pack contains 15 individual sachets, shelf-stable for easy pantry storage or gift-giving.

How do I make a pot of dashi with these packets?

Preparing a base is fast and tidy: one sachet into 600 ml of water, bring to a boil, simmer briefly, then remove. The result is a balanced, savory stock you can use immediately as a soup base or ingredient in recipes.

• Use 1 sachet per 600 ml (about 2.5 cups) of water
• Bring to a boil, simmer 2–3 minutes, then remove sachet
• Tear open the sachet for direct seasoning or toppings
• Adjust concentration by using more sachets for deeper flavor

What ingredients create the umami in this dashi?

This stock combines multiple umami sources to achieve a layered savory profile: dried bonito and several dried fish extracts supply rich marine savoriness while kelp and shiitake add rounded depth. Unusually, small amounts of premium Japanese green teas (gyokuro, hojicha) are included to harmonize and add subtle aromatic notes.

• Marine extracts: dried bonito, sardine, herring, flyingfish
• Plant umami: kelp and shiitake mushrooms
• Tea elements: gyokuro and hojicha green teas for aroma balance
• Seasoning: salt, sugar, yeast extract, and soy sauce powder

Which dishes benefit most from these dashi sachets?

These packets are versatile—use them for classic Japanese dishes like miso soup, udon, and ramen, or as a flavor boost in stews, sauces, dressings, and rice dishes. Tearing open a sachet and sprinkling the powder provides an instant umami topping for rice, onigiri, or finished noodles.

• Miso soup and udon/ramen broths
• Hot pots, stews, and noodle bowls
• Salad dressings, marinades, and pan sauces
• Sprinkle as seasoning for rice, grilled vegetables, or proteins

How is YAMASAN KYOTO UJI dashi different from other dashi products?

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI emphasizes traditional Kyoto craftsmanship and a carefully curated ingredient blend, including tea notes not common in many instant dashi powders. The tea addition, paired with multiple dried fish and mushroom extracts, produces a nuanced, aromatic stock rather than a single-note salty base.

• Produced in Kyoto following regional tradition
• Contains gyokuro and hojicha teas for aromatic depth
• Free from artificial colors and flavors
• Tea-bag style sachets for clean, easy preparation

Who is this for? Home cooks seeking authentic Japanese flavor without long preparation times, ramen and soup enthusiasts who want a reliable pantry dashi, and gift buyers after a premium, regionally made seasoning. It also suits cooks experimenting with umami-forward sauces and seasonings, and anyone who prefers single-serve convenience for portion control and freshness.
