Gozen Dashi Powder – Fish Base - 60g - Vegan, GF Copy

Rich. Savoury. Authentic — the backbone of real Japanese flavour.

This is the classic version of dashi — the stock that sits at the heart of Japanese cooking. Made from a balanced blend of dried bonito, mackerel, sardine, and shiitake mushroom, this powder delivers deep, layered umami in seconds.

It’s richer and more robust than plant-based dashi, and it’s what gives dishes like miso soup, ramen, and noodle broths their unmistakable depth.

Why it earns a spot in my pantry

Because this is instant flavour without shortcuts. A spoonful turns hot water into proper stock, but it’s also brilliant as a seasoning — adding depth to soups, rice, sauces, and seafood dishes. It’s one of those quiet ingredients that makes everything taste more complete.

Chef Ian’s best ways to use it

• Traditional miso soup: the proper base flavour
• Noodle broths: ramen, udon, soba — instant depth
• Rice upgrade: add a pinch to cooking water for subtle savoury lift
• Seafood dishes: enhances prawns, fish, and shellfish beautifully
• Japanese sauces: add to dipping sauces or marinades
• Vegetables: brings savoury balance to mushrooms, greens, and stir-fries
• Quick soups: dissolve in hot water, add noodles and toppings
