Kayanoya Original Kelp Stock Powder (6 g packet x 5)
Kayanoya Original Kelp Stock Powder in trial size -- two types of kelp are used: "Makonbu", which has a refined sweetness, and "Rishiri Kombu", which adds distinct umami. This combination offers a mellow taste that does not interfere with the other ingredients.
The main ingredients of "Kelp Dashi" are "Makonbu", which offers the sweeter taste of kelp from southern Hokkaido, and "Rishiri Kombu", harvested on the northern islands of "Rishiri" and "Rebun", that is characterized by its elegant aroma and umami. The kelp is chopped to provide strong fragrance and taste.
In addition, dried shiitake mushrooms and a small amount of sea salt are added to enhance the overall flavor.
The unique set of ingredients yields a complex combination of mellow taste.

Stock
There are two ways to prepare Kayanoya stocks. If your dish requires clear stock, infuse the packet in a saucepan with water. If your dish does not require clear stock, empty the contents of the packet directly into the water. Both methods result in a full-flavored stock.
Infusion
One packet per 1 ¾ cups water (400 ml) for regular strength dashi or two packets per 2 cups water (500 ml) for hearty dashi.
Step 1
Place water and an unopened
packet in a saucepan.
Step 2
Bring water to a simmer over medium heat, and hold temperature for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove and discard the packet(s).
Stock is ready to use.
Alternative Use
