"Kayanoya dashi collection is a game changer in the kitchen. Its complex flavor profile adds depth to any recipe. The vegetable stock powder is like a warm hug in a bowl. It's a magical seasoning that enhances the taste of any dish with its subtle sweetness and umami!"
Chef Yuko Kajino of M Café de Chaya in Los Angeles has built his career around nourishing food that connects body and soul. Known for his plant-forward, macrobiotic approach, he believes that good food should be both wholesome and accessible—something everyone can enjoy, not just in restaurants but at home.
When he discovered Kayanoya’s dashi, Chef Kajino found a kindred spirit in flavor: clean, natural, and deeply comforting. Inspired by its gentle umami, he set out to create recipes that bring the essence of professional cooking into everyday life.
For this collaboration, Chef Kajino crafted three original dishes that celebrate Kayanoya’s versatility: a soothing vegan “pork bone” udon, a hearty vegetable meatball soup, and golden chicken tenders coated in dashi-infused batter. Each dish highlights how dashi can enrich simple home cooking—adding depth, warmth, and a touch of refinement to familiar comfort.
Through his collaboration with Kayanoya, Chef Kajino reminds us that delicious food doesn’t have to be complicated—it begins with sincerity, balance, and a bowl of good dashi.
