Ajinomoto Hondashi Katsuodashi, Japan - 1KG

Product Description

Ajinomoto Hondashi is the world's most recognised bonito-based dashi powder — a Japanese pantry staple since the 1970s, made by Ajinomoto Co. Inc., the inventor of the original umami seasoning. Hondashi translates as "real, genuine broth": granules made from smoked katsuobushi (skipjack tuna/bonito), salt, sugar, and umami enhancers that dissolve instantly in hot water to create authentic Japanese dashi stock without hours of preparation. The 1KG foodservice pack is built for ramen kitchens, Japanese restaurants, izakayas, and high-volume Asian fusion operations across the UAE.
