Individually packaged and easy to prepare, these dashi (broth/soup) tea bags are made with carefully selected raw materials blended in a golden ratio to provide the perfect amount of umami flavor. 

Katsuokarebushi (dried bonito/skipjack tuna flakes) are sourced from Makurazaki City and the Yamagawa area of Ibusuki City in Kagoshima Prefecture, both of which are known for producing high-quality bonito flakes. Makurazaki is said to be the largest producer of katsuobushi in all of Japan and has even earned itself the nickname of “katsuo town” (bonito town). These bonito flakes add a mildly salty and smoky fish flavor, while the dried ago (flying fish) and sardine flakes impart a subtle taste of the sea, helping to amplify the taste of the bonito. The konbu and powdered soy sauce also provide a greater depth of umami. 

In an age of increased gourmet interest, the Marusho Corporation is proud to offer high-end products that use authentic, local Japanese ingredients. They strive to bring the best of Japan’s waters to your table through their wide variety of bonito flakes, dried seaweeds and frozen fish.
 

Suggested uses: Enjoy this high-quality dashi as a broth/soup stock or as a drink. Simply steep one of the easy-to-use triangular dashi bags in 150-180ml of boiling water for 3-4 mins. The amount of water and time can be adjusted to suit your taste.
