What is Dashi?
Dashi (だし, 出汁) is a fundamental Japanese soup stock and the backbone of many Japanese dishes.
It’s incredibly quick and easy to prepare, making it an essential component of authentic miso soup. Unlike chicken or vegetable stock, dashi provides the signature umami flavor that defines true Japanese cuisine—without it, it’s simply not miso soup.
