We aimed to create a product that not only ensures safety and peace of mind but also maximizes the natural ingredients' qualities to achieve the perfect balance of aroma, umami, and richness.
- The ultimate Japanese-style powdered dashi developed through a collaboration between two companies.
"We want you to enjoy authentic flavors even with homemade dashi." Based on the Maeda family's wish, this product was created by Hirotaka Adachi, the third-generation owner of Adachi Shokuhin. It is called "Maeda Family's Supreme Japanese Dashi."
**'Katsuobushi Adachi'**
Deep knowledge and blending techniques for dashi.
Adachi Shokuhin supplies ingredients such as bonito flakes to soba restaurants in the Kanto region.
This product is based on extensive knowledge and experience related to dashi, gained through dealings with many discerning soba restaurants in the Kanto area.
**'MAEDAYA'**
Pursuit of quality ingredients and sale of additive-free products.
Our shop offers safe and secure products, including the popular additive-free dashi series and other health-friendly items.
The development of this product was driven by the desire for households to enjoy authentic dashi at home.
- **Authentic Completely Additive-Free Dashi**
This is a genuine additive-free dashi that contains no "chemical seasonings," "yeast extracts," "protein hydrolysates," or any other additives.
It is a simple powdered dashi made solely by pulverizing natural ingredients, without salt or seasonings.
- **Craftsmanship of a Long-Established Dashi Shop**
Using carefully selected eight types of domestically sourced ingredients, this dashi maximizes umami, richness, and aroma, resulting in a delicious Japanese-style broth.

Q. Can I choose the package size?

Q. How much dashi should I use?
A. Put about 1 teaspoon (approximately 2g) into a tea bag or similar, and simmer in 130cc of water.
Q. Why does the broth become cloudy or why do powder residues remain?
A. Because the ingredients are processed into fine powder, it may not dissolve completely, resulting in cloudiness or residue.
