Ajinomoto Consomme Stock (顆粒コンソメ) 50g is a Western-style soup base with the richness of slow-simmered meat and aromatic vegetables packed into granules. Beef, chicken and Chinese cabbage extracts carry the savouriness, with roasted onion powder and soy sauce behind them. Ajinomoto's own guidance is to simmer it together with whatever meat and vegetables you like, so an everyday soup or simmered dish tastes fuller — two small teaspoons (5.3 g) make soup for two, about 300 ml. This is the 50 g bag.
About Ajinomoto
Ajinomoto (味の素株式会社) is one of Japan's foundational seasoning companies, founded 1909 by Saburosuke Suzuki II (the second-generation Suzuki Saburosuke) after Kikunae Ikeda's discovery of umami (the fifth taste) in 1908. The original Aji-no-moto (味の素, "essence of taste") MSG seasoning launched May 1909 — the world's first commercial umami seasoning. The portfolio now includes Hondashi (ほんだし) bonito dashi granules, Cook Do (Cook Do®) Chinese stir-fry sauces, Hi-Me (ハイミー) umami seasoning, and the Knorr-licensed cup-soup range.
What "consommé" means here
Consommé is a clear soup made from a richly flavoured stock that has been clarified, long used in European kitchens as the basis of other soups, sauces and stews. In Japan it has become a pantry staple in granulated form — 顆粒コンソメ — a Western-style soup base sold ready to use rather than built from scratch.
