Authentic Japanese Umami Dashi Soup Stock

Dashi Culture and Umami in Japan
Dashi is at the heart of Japanese cuisine.
Dashi is made by extracting umami flavors from natural ingredients, and has the excellent ability to enhance and harmonize the flavors of other ingredients.
It is an indispensable cooking broth in Japanese cuisine!
Dashi is not made by simmering ingredients for a long time like bouillon.
They use carefully selected ingredients that have been aged over a long period of time, and simply soak them in water or heat them to extract the true essence of their flavor.
Yamasan`s DASHI
8 Highly Selected Umami Ingredients
2 Kinds of Dried Bonito Flakes
Dried bonito flakes contain inosinic acid, an essential ingredient in Japanese dashi soup stock. We use two types of bonito flakes which are made by boiling and smoking bonito, and HONKAREBUSHI, which is made by aging bonito flakes.
Rishiri Kelp
The dashi stock made from kelp, which contains glutamic acid, has an elegant aroma and umami flavor. We use Rishiri kelp, the highest grade in Japan, which has a mild aroma and rich umami.
Shiitake Mushroom
Dried shiitake mushrooms contain guanylic acid. By mixing guanylic acid with glutamic acid from kelp, you can enjoy even more umami flavor.
Dried Flying Fish
In Japan, it is a high-class food ingredient called AGODASHI. Flying fish has less fat than other fish and can be used to extract a refined broth with a refreshing sweetness and rich flavor.
Dried Round Herring
Round herrings are low in fat and produce a clean broth without a fishy smell. This makes for a light, low-calorie broth.
Japanese Tea (Gyokuro and Hojicha)
Two types of tea, Gyokuro and Hojicha, are used as secret ingredients. Theanine, an amino acid contained in tea, has a strong umami flavor, and the aroma of the tea removes any unpleasant odors, creating a mild broth.

Holidays in Japan with Yamasan
by B2C Yamasan
on Aug 26 2025
Japan is a country rich in culture and seasonal observances. From New Year to Obon, each holiday has its own meaning, customs, and ways of celebrating. At Yamasan Kyoto Uji, we love exploring these traditions and sharing them with our customers.
January — Shogatsu (New Year)
The most important holiday in Japan, Shogatsu is a time for family, reflection, and renewal. People enjoy special foods like osechi ryori, visit shrines, and share wishes for a prosperous year.
February — Setsubun
Celebrated at the start of spring, Setsubun involves rituals to ward off evil spirits by throwing roasted soybeans and chanting “Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!” (Demons out! Luck in!).
March — Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival / Girls’ Day)
A day to celebrate and pray for the health and happiness of girls. Families display ornamental dolls and enjoy traditional sweets.
April — Hanami (Cherry Blossom Viewing)
Springtime marks the cherry blossom season. Hanami is not an official holiday but a beloved tradition where people gather under sakura trees to picnic, drink tea, and celebrate nature’s beauty.
May — Golden Week
A cluster of national holidays in late April to early May. Many Japanese take time off to travel, relax, and enjoy family activities.
August — Obon
A Buddhist holiday honoring ancestors. Families visit graves, offer prayers, and light lanterns. Obon is also a time for reflection and family gatherings.
November — Shichi-Go-San
A festival celebrating the growth and well-being of children at ages three, five, and seven. Families visit shrines and dress children in traditional clothing.
December — Winter Holidays & Preparation for New Year
December is a time for preparing for Shogatsu, cleaning homes, and enjoying seasonal foods and teas.
🍵 Celebrate the Seasons with Japanese Tea
Each holiday is an opportunity to enjoy traditional Japanese tea. At Yamasan Kyoto Uji, our premium matcha, green teas, and lifestyle products help you bring a taste of Japan into your own seasonal celebrations.

🍵 How to Drink Matcha
Matcha is more than a drink — it’s a calming ritual and a beautiful moment of mindfulness.
🎥 Watch the Tutorial
See this tutorial on Instagram
🧂 What You’ll Need
2g of matcha powder (shop here)
80ml hot water (80~85°C / 176~185°F)
A matcha bowl (Chawan)
A bamboo whisk (Chasen)
A matcha scoop (Chashaku) or measuring spoon
A fine sifter
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Sift the matcha: Use a sifter to sift 2g of matcha powder into your bowl. This prevents clumping and ensures a smooth texture.
Pre-mix: Add 40ml of hot water and gently whisk with a bamboo whisk until the powder is fully dissolved and smooth.
Whisk to foam: Add the remaining 60ml of hot water. Whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion for 20–40 seconds until a fine layer of foam appears.
Enjoy: Your matcha is ready! Sip slowly and enjoy the calming moment. Best paired with traditional sweets or enjoyed on its own.
💡 Tips
Use water between 80–85°C to avoid bitterness.
A bamboo whisk creates the smoothest, frothiest results.
For a stronger flavor, try "koicha" style: use more powder and less water.
