Dashi stock in Japanese cooking is comparable to fond (blanc)/bouillon in French, tang in Chinese, i.e., the most important and total base of the traditional dishes under its cooking system. Nowadays it is found that Dashi contains much elements of UMAMI, one of five basic tastes (saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, sourness and UMAMI, known as savoriness).
For those famous and well-known condiments and seasonings such like Miso, Shoyu, Mirin, etc. to dance on your tongue, they definitely need its basic presence of Dashi as their stage, so to speak (Imagine some of your dishes without fond/bouillon/tang but only salt/oil/vinegar).
Shimaya Co., Ltd., established in 1890, invented this "DashinoMoto", instant Dashi powder, in 1964 and has been supporting daily dietary life of Japanese people both in nutritious and time-saving ways for almost 50 years. Shimaya DashinoMoto will serve as a soup base for a typical Dashi of mixture of Kombu seaweed and dried bonito flakes (known as Katsuo-bushi) among others.
