Information

• Producer's Story: When Uneno's second generation moved to Kyoto and devoted themselves to dashi, they understood that kombu was the foundation of everything. Their philosophy has always been to use only carefully selected, natural domestic ingredients. Rishiri kombu, grown in the cold, mineral-rich waters off Hokkaido's northernmost island, is the finest variety available — the choice of Kyoto's most demanding temple and kaiseki kitchens for centuries.
• Tasting Profile: Gentle, mineral, and clean — with a natural sweetness and body that katsuobushi-based powders cannot replicate. The glutamate in kombu delivers a round, sustained umami that supports other flavors without competing with them. Notably delicate and transparent in flavor.
• Pairing Suggestions: The essential powder for plant-based and vegan cooking — stir into vegetable soups, grain dishes, or legume stews for instant depth. Sprinkle over steamed vegetables, avocado toast, or hummus. Mix into salad dressings or grain bowls. Add to pasta water for a subtle mineral backbone. Pairs beautifully with the katsuobushi powder for an at-home awase dashi — combine the two for a complete Japanese soup stock.
