All Purpose Seasoning "White Dashi" - 三河白だし 400ml

Shiro dashi, or "white dashi," is a ready-made liquid seasoning that combines dashi stock with light-coloured soy sauce (usukuchi shoyu), mirin and salt. This bottle is associated with Mikawa, a district of Aichi Prefecture with a long history of soy sauce and mirin brewing.

Unlike regular soy sauce, shiro dashi seasons food with full dashi umami while keeping the dish's natural colour, since it does not darken broths or vegetables the way dark soy sauce does. It is diluted with water and used for soups, simmered dishes, chawanmushi, noodle broths and dressings.
