Back to Basics
Comprised of foundational ingredients from both land and sea, dashi is a traditional Japanese soup stock, dating back to ancient times. Ingredients like kombu seaweed and bonito shavings form the basis of dashi, with recipes including various additions such as vegetables, soy sauce, or miso paste. When the individual components are aged, steeped together, and simmered over heat, an umami-rich stock is produced, one used for soups, sauces, and virtually all Japanese cuisine preparations. This Kyoto workshop has been specializing in the art of dashi since the Meiji Period and is renowned in Japan both for sourcing high quality ingredients and for its manual processing methods. In this experience, learn the processing techniques and taste the individual ingredients needed for this traditional stock. Then, taste various dashi preparations and try your hand at making your own.
