Background

Dashi is a class of soup and cooking stock used in Japanese cuisine. Dashi forms the base for miso soup, clear broth, noodle broth, and many kinds of simmering liquid. It is also mixed into flour base of some grilled foods like Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki.

The most common form of Dashi is a simple broth or fish stock made by heating water containing Kombu (edible kelp) and Kezurikatsuo (shavings of Katsuobushi - preserved, fermented skipjack tuna) to near-boiling, then straining the resultant liquid. The element of umami, considered one of the five basic tastes in Japan, is introduced into Dashi from the use of Katsuobushi. Katsuobushi is especially high in sodium inosinate, which is identified as one sauce of umami.
