HOW IT’S MADE

Premium ingredients and a unique process create amazing flavor

The unique aroma and flavor of HONDASHI® derive from natural ingredients that are hand prepared. The amazing flavor of HONDASHI® starts from high-quality, low-fat bonito (skipjack tuna) from the Pacific Ocean. Master craftsmen then use oak to smoke the fish up to two weeks using age-old techniques.

The resulting rich, smoky aroma and umami kick are sealed in granules, which dissolve easily in any application. HONDASHI® is a convenient way to create perfect, authentic Japanese dashi stock without spending hours in the smoke shed and in the kitchen.
