NINBEN Tsuyu no Moto is a concentrated Japanese soup base, often called the "essence of dashi," made from a rich blend of bonito flakes dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. This combination creates a deep, savory umami flavor with a touch of sweetness and saltiness. Incredibly versatile, this concentrate can be diluted to various strengths, making it perfect for creating flavorful broths for hot and cold noodle soups, serving as a dipping sauce for tempura or gyoza.
