What is kombu dashi made of?

Kombu dashi is made from kombu, a type of edible kelp (seaweed) that’s rich in natural glutamates, which give it a deep umami flavour. Unlike traditional dashi, which often includes bonito flakes (dried fish), kombu dashi is made purely from seaweed, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Is kombu just seaweed?

Yes, kombu is a variety of kelp, a large brown seaweed harvested in cold waters, especially around Hokkaido in Japan. It’s packed with minerals and natural flavour compounds, which makes it a key ingredient in Japanese cooking.

What does dashi taste like?

Dashi has a distinctive umami-rich flavour, savoury, slightly briny, and deeply satisfying. Kombu dashi in particular has a cleaner, more delicate taste compared to fish-based dashi, with subtle notes of the sea and a natural sweetness from the kelp.
