■ Comments from foreign selection members
Canada / Male
It takes very traditional Japanese food to new heights for modern markets and consumers. I think this reflects Japan’s unique way of solving modern problems by combining old and new in a traditional way.

China / Male
There is soup stock for honey, and the low-salt type is good for people who care about their health and elderly people, so it is a product that you can feel the care for the user.

India / Women
I like Japanese food a lot, but it takes an overwhelming amount of time to make it at home because I don’t know the materials and how to make it, so I can only see it when I’m outside. With this soup stock, I think it would be nice to be able to easily incorporate the taste of Japan.

Sweden / Women
People all over the world know “umami”, but many do not know how to reproduce that taste. In that respect, I think this soup stock set is a very good product because it can easily reproduce the taste.

France / Male
It looks good for home use and gifts. It’s wonderful that you can enjoy the umami as well.

How to take / use the dashi stock of the dashi pack
Put the dashi pack in a pot of water, shake the dashi pack with chopsticks about 5 times, boil on medium heat for 5 minutes, and remove the dashi pack.
Depending on the dish, the contents of the dashi pack can be used as it is.
