Did you know that "Dashi" (Japanese broth) is the base for almost every Japanese dish? Knowing how to make it is like holding the key to Japanese wellness.

Dashi is usually made from simple, natural ingredients like Iriko (dried sardines), Katsuobushi (bonito flakes), or Konbu (kelp). The aroma alone is so relaxing—it’s like instant aromatherapy in the kitchen!

It’s packed with umami but very low in calories, making it the perfect way to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor. While instant dashi is convenient, making it from scratch with natural ingredients gives you an unbeatable aroma and flavor! 🌿🍱
