YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Umami Dashi Stock Packets 15 x 8g — Tea-Bag Sachets, Kelp & Bonito

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Umami Dashi Stock Packets are single-serve Japanese soup-base sachets that deliver rich, layered dashi flavor to soups, sauces, stews, and more.

Made in Kyoto using a balanced mix of traditional ingredients, these 8g tea-bag style packets make it simple to produce authentic umami dashi at home. Each box contains 15 individual sachets formulated from a blend of kelp, dried fish extracts, shiitake, Japanese teas, and seasonings — all designed to provide a savory foundation for everyday Japanese cooking without artificial coloring or flavors.

How quickly can I make a dashi broth with these packets?

Preparing dashi is fast and reliable: add one sachet to 600 ml of water and bring to a boil for 2–3 minutes, then remove the pouch. The tea-bag format keeps the process tidy and consistent, so you get a repeatable result every time.

• One packet per 600 ml (about 2.5 cups) of water
• Boil 2–3 minutes, then remove the sachet
• Use sachet contents as seasoning for stronger flavor
• Each box contains 15 individual 8g packets

What ingredients create the signature umami in this dashi?

The product relies on a curated blend of eight umami-rich components, including dried bonito and various dried fish extracts, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, and two Japanese green teas. This combination produces a savory depth with subtle vegetal and toasty tea notes that complement many dishes.

• Dried bonito, sardine, herring, flyingfish extracts for savory depth
• Kelp (kombu) and shiitake for balanced umami and mouthfeel
• Gyokuro and hojicha teas to add vegetal and roasted nuances
• No artificial colors or flavors listed

Which dishes benefit most from using these dashi packets?

These sachets are versatile: ideal as the base for miso soup, udon and ramen broths, hot pots, or simmered stews, and useful as a finishing seasoning for rice, onigiri, or dressings. You can also tear open a packet to sprinkle the powder directly as a condiment or topping for instant umami boost.

• Miso soup, udon, ramen, and nabe hot pots
• Stews, simmered vegetables, and braises
• Salad dressings, dipping sauces, and marinades
• Direct seasoning for rice, noodles, or snacks

How is this dashi different from other instant soup bases?

Unlike single-ingredient stocks, this dashi blends multiple fish extracts with kelp, shiitake, and Japanese green teas to create a layered, nuanced profile. The tea-bag packaging preserves convenience while protecting flavor integrity, and the product emphasizes traditional Kyoto craftsmanship rather than artificial enhancements.

• Multi-ingredient blend for complexity rather than single-flavor base
• Includes gyokuro and hojicha for distinctive aromatic notes
• Tea-bag sachets keep preparation neat and consistent
• Produced in Kyoto with a shelf life suitable for pantry storage

Who this product is for: home cooks who want quick access to authentic Japanese dashi without complicated preparations; ramen and udon lovers seeking a reliable stock base; busy families wanting flavorful soups in minutes; and gift-givers searching for a refined pantry ingredient from Kyoto. Note: contains wheat, soy, and fish, so it is not suitable for those with those allergies.
