Discover the Essence of Japanese Flavor with the DIY Dashi Tamari Set

Dashi is the soul of Japanese cooking—a delicate yet powerful flavor that serves as the base for countless dishes. It brings an unparalleled depth of umami to every recipe, transcending cuisines to add complexity to both traditional and modern creations.

With the DIY Dashi Tamari Set, you can create your own homemade dashi using our premium Tamari, known for its rich, traditionally brewed umami. The set includes three distinct bottles, each contains carefully selected, high-quality Japanese ingredients:

Kombu Dashi Tamari: Infused with kombu, harvested off the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan, this tamari delivers a deep, savory umami flavor. Our kombu is hand-harvested from the wild in the clean, cold waters of the North and sun-dried on white sand beaches. It's rich in glutamic acid which enhances the flavor with a pure, authentic umami taste.

Shiitake Dashi Tamari: This bottle is infused with dried shiitake, a prized mushroom known for its rich, earthy flavor and meaty texture. The dried shiitake mushrooms we use are certified organic and of high-quality. When dried, they intensify in flavor due to the presence of guanylic acid, creating a concentrated umami profile.

Spicy Dashi Tamari: Infused with takanotsume peppers, or "Claw of the Hawk," this tamari adds a bold, spicy kick. Takanotsume peppers we use are rare, prized peppers grown exclusively in Japan, known for their distinct aroma, rich flavor, and intense heat.

How It Works:

To create your own dashi, simply pour 1/3 of the included SAN-J Organic Tamari into each of the three glass bottles provided and let the ingredients infuse:

• Kombu Dashi Tamari and Shiitake Dashi Tamari: Allow 2 weeks for the flavors to fully infuse and develop their rich, umami-packed taste. The longer you let them age, the more complex and intense the dashi becomes.
• Spicy Dashi Tamari: The heat from the takanotsume peppers infuses after just 1 day and will continue to evolve, intensifying over time for a deepening level of spice.

Over time, the tamari transforms into a beautifully layered dashi, perfect for enhancing all your culinary creations. Whether you're cooking traditional Japanese dishes or experimenting with cross-cultural flavors, you’ll enjoy a depth of flavor that only improves as the Dashi Tamari matures.
