Ninben Shirodashi is a premium Japanese soup stock that brings authentic umami and depth to your cooking with ease. Dashi is one of the essential foundations of Japanese cuisine, a traditional stock made from ingredients like bonito flakes (katsuobushi), dried kelp (kombu), and sometimes dried shiitake mushrooms, prized for its rich umami flavor that enhances dishes without overpowering them.
Shiro dashi is a convenient variation of dashi. The prefix “shiro”, meaning “white” or “light” in Japanese, refers to its lighter, more delicate flavour and pale colour compared to regular dashi. Shiro dashi combines this delicate dashi with a touch of light soy sauce, creating a perfectly balanced seasoning that is both versatile and easy to use.
Crafted by Ninben using high-quality bonito flakes, kombu, and premium light soy sauce, Ninben Shiro dashi delivers a rich yet subtle umami flavor. It’s ideal for soups, noodle broths, stews, simmered vegetables, tofu, seafood, and classic Japanese dishes like miso soup and udon noodle soup. With Ninben Shiro dashi, you can bring authentic Japanese taste to your kitchen effortlessly.
Experience the delicate, savory, and authentic taste of Japan in every dish with Ninben Shirodashi.

Love this, it’s so versatile. I even use it as a condiment, when a meal needs a bit of “poke”
A big fan of Somerset Foodie. Fantastic range of excellent quality products from around the globe.
These olives are delicious! They are a large olive and are a popular addition to tapas plates. I ordered 3 jars which arrived in good time and they were very well packaged. I would definitely recommend them!
Somerset Foodie has a really interesting selection of foods, and the mozzarella is delicious - local and ethical.
I always loved this place for two reasons: You will get the products you can’t find elsewhere and you will get a lot of free advice how to use them. This is how every shop should operate. You can’t ask for more.
