How to use
- 1
Shake the bottle before use
Give the ヤマキ 割烹白だし 500ml bottle a few gentle shakes so the dashi essence settled at the bottom blends evenly, giving you a consistent flavor throughout.
- 2
Decide how much to dilute it
Dilute with water according to the ratio on the label, depending on the dish: use more water for clear soups, and less for simmered dishes or dipping sauces. If you're unsure, start diluted and season to taste as you go.
- 3
Mix with water to suit the dish
Add the measured shirodashi to the water for miso soup, vegetable soup, or egg drop soup — or use it straight as a base broth for hot pot, udon, or chawanmushi.
- 4
Heat and season to taste
Warm the mixture over medium heat until evenly hot, then taste and adjust: add a little more shirodashi if it's bland, or a splash of water if it's too salty.
- 5
Finish the dish
Add your main ingredients (vegetables, tofu, egg, seafood) and cook through, then turn off the heat and enjoy while hot to capture the full umami of the dashi.
- 6
Seal the cap tightly after each use
Screw the cap on firmly right after pouring to limit air getting in, which can cause the aroma to fade and the dashi quality to decline.
- 7
Wipe the mouth of the bottle
Use a clean paper towel to wipe away any shirodashi left around the bottle's rim, preventing mold and helping the cap seal more securely.
- 8
Store it in the right place
Before opening, keep the bottle in a dry, cool, well-ventilated spot, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
- 9
Refrigerate after opening
Once opened, store the bottle in the refrigerator to keep the flavor fresh, and use it up within the recommended period noted on the label.
- 10
Check it before using again
Before each use, look at the color and smell it: if there's an unusual odor or any sign that something is off, don't continue using it.
Frequently asked questions
What dishes can I make with this shirodashi?

Is it concentrated, and how much should I dilute it?

Is it suitable for children?
When diluted well, it can be used in meals for children. Start with a small amount and adjust if you are watching sodium. For baby food, please follow age-appropriate guidance and begin with a very mild flavor.
How is white dashi different from soy sauce or mentsuyu?
