Higashimaru Kyoto-Style Kappo Shirodashi (京風割烹白だし) 400 ml — a white dashi built on a honjozo (naturally brewed) light soy sauce base, layered with seven kinds of dried-fish flakes — bonito, sodagatsuo, mackerel, urume sardine, mackerel scad and shaved tuna and bonito — plus kombu, niboshi and bonito and mackerel extracts. The result is a concentrated, deeply savoury seasoning that you simply dilute with water.
About Higashimaru Shoyu
Higashimaru Shoyu Co., Ltd. (ヒガシマル醤油株式会社) makes soy sauce and liquid and powdered seasonings in Tatsuno, Hyogo — which the company describes as the birthplace of usukuchi (light-colour) soy sauce. It traces its founding to the Tensho era, around 1580, and was incorporated in its present form in 1942.
What shirodashi is
Shirodashi (白だし) is a concentrated seasoning that combines dashi stock with light-coloured soy sauce. Because it is pale rather than dark, it seasons and adds umami without staining the food — which is why it suits clear-looking dishes where the colour of the ingredients is meant to show. It is sold as a concentrate and diluted with water for whatever you are making.
How to use & enjoy
Higashimaru's own guidance: diluting it alone makes dashi-forward dishes easy — among them dashimaki tamago (rolled omelette), miso soup and takikomi gohan (seasoned rice).
