What started as a small family business manufacturing soy sauce has become a famous and renowned house. Founded in 1893, Kayanoya today specializes in the production of high-quality food products, with a philosophy based on respect for ingredients, seasonality, and Japanese culinary traditions, favoring artisanal production methods.
One of Kayanoya's flagship products is its dashi broth, an essential element of Japanese cuisine. In addition to the traditional dashi recipe with dried bonito shavings, katsuobushi, and kombu seaweed, Kayanoya also offers powdered broths suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Use broth powder with vegetables, kombu seaweed, or shiitake mushrooms to obtain preparations rich in flavor. These products are produced with attention to quality and authenticity, respecting traditional manufacturing methods. They are made without artificial flavors or preservatives.
Kayanoya Original Dashi Stock Powder -- traditional, professional quality dashi stock in two minutes.
Original Dashi Stock Powder is made from materials of the highest quality. Its superb flavor comes from roasted ago (flying fish) and iwashi (sardine) in addition to the usual dashi mixture of kombu (dried kelp) and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes). Excellent for use in both Japanese and Western dishes, adding umami (savory flavor) to soups, stews, pastas, grilled dishes, and more.
There are two ways to prepare stock with Kayanoya dashi. If your dish requires clear stock, use Method 1. If your dish does not require clear stock, use either Method 1 or 2. Both methods result in full-flavored stock.
Method 1: Infusion
One packet in 1 ¾ cups water (400 ml) for regular-strength dashi, or two packets in 2 cups water (500 ml) for hearty dashi. Place water and unopened packet(s) in saucepan. Bring water to simmer over medium heat, and hold temperature for 2--3 minutes. Remove and discard packet(s). Stock is ready to use.
Method 2: Inclusion
(Produces stock with powder particles.) Place water in saucepan. Tear packet and empty powder into saucepan. Bring water to simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and hold temperature for 2--3 minutes. Stock is ready to use.
You can add dashi powder directly to dishes for a surprising flavor boost. Add dashi directly to stir-fried dishes... use as a rub for meat, poultry, or seafood... add to pasta or pasta sauces... use as seasoning for rice and grains, hamburger, and more... sprinkle on pizza dough before baking. Then use your imagination!
Tips:
a. Prepared stock will stay fresh for 2--3 days in the refrigerator.
b. Open the foil bag and remove only the packets you need. Immediately press the bag to remove air, and close as tightly as possible. Store in a cool, dry, dark space. Refrigeration is not recommended.
Kayanoya Original Dashi works great with Beef Udon, Miso Soup with Bacon & Veggies, and more!
