Ajinomoto's own framing is that it seasons a dish on its own, with no extra salt or pepper needed, across fried rice, soups and meat-and-vegetable stir-fries. The soft paste squeezes one-handed straight from the tube. Ajinomoto's guidance is to refrigerate it once opened. Made in Japan at Ajinomoto Foods' Kawasaki plant or at a domestic partner factory in Aichi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Ajinomoto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAjinomoto (味の素株式会社) is one of Japan's foundational seasoning companies, founded 1909 by Saburosuke Suzuki II after Kikunae Ikeda's discovery of umami — the fifth taste — in 1908. The original Aji-no-moto (味の素, \"essence of taste\") seasoning launched in May 1909 as the world's first commercial umami seasoning. The portfolio now includes Hondashi (ほんだし) bonito dashi granules, the Cook Do® range of Chinese seasonings, Hi-Me (ハイミー) umami seasoning, and the Knorr-licensed cup-soup range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat an all-purpose Chinese seasoning paste is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese home kitchens often keep a single concentrated Chinese-style seasoning — 中華調味料 — rather than assembling stock, oil and aromatics separately each time. These come as granules, liquids or, as here, a soft paste, and they carry the savoury stock base and the aromatics together in one product. The paste format is prized for control: you squeeze out as little or as much as a dish needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt (produced in Japan), edible fats and oils, flavour oil, pork extract, sugar, chicken extract, vegetable extract, spices, yeast extract, yeast-extract fermented seasoning \/ seasoning (amino acids etc.), emulsifier, flavouring.
