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.

Why Hondashi
The granulated form dissolves instantly in hot water — no infusing or straining required. Hondashi is the go-to dashi for everyday Japanese cooking: miso soup, simmered dishes, donburi sauces, noodle broth, and hot pots. A single 60g bottle delivers approximately 60 servings at Ajinomoto's standard dosing of 1g per 150ml hot water.
