Fresh Kombu Dashi Stock

Truefoods Kombu Dashi Stock 2.5kg is a ready-to-use Japanese-style stock made with kombu sea kelp, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, wakame and soy sauce to create a clean, savoury broth with exceptional umami depth. Light yet full of flavour, it's a traditional foundation of Japanese cooking and provides the balanced, delicate taste needed for authentic soups, noodle dishes and sauces.

Designed for professional kitchens, this 2.5kg catering pack offers a convenient way to prepare Japanese-inspired dishes without making dashi from scratch. The natural umami from kombu and shiitake mushrooms creates a deeply savoury stock that works beautifully in miso soup, ramen, udon and soba broths, while also adding subtle complexity to rice dishes, steamed vegetables, seafood and modern fusion recipes. Its delicate flavour enhances ingredients rather than overpowering them, making it an incredibly versatile kitchen staple.

Made using carefully selected ingredients, Truefoods Kombu Dashi Stock provides consistent flavour and saves valuable preparation time, allowing kitchens to produce authentic Japanese-inspired dishes with ease.

What is kombu dashi?

Kombu dashi is a traditional Japanese stock made using kombu, a type of edible sea kelp prized for its naturally high glutamate content. It's valued for its clean, savoury umami flavour and forms the base of many Japanese soups, sauces and noodle dishes.

Why are shiitake mushrooms included in this stock?

Shiitake mushrooms naturally contain compounds that enhance umami, complementing the kombu to create a deeper, more rounded flavour. Together, they produce a rich yet delicate broth that's characteristic of many Japanese recipes.

Can kombu dashi be used outside Japanese cooking?

Yes. Kombu dashi is an excellent way to add savoury depth to risottos, vegetable soups, seafood dishes, grain bowls and light sauces. Its subtle flavour makes it a versatile alternative to traditional vegetable or chicken stock in a wide range of recipes.
