Recipe with Umami Dashi Kelp 1
Do you know Umami and Dashi?
“DASHI” is Japanese name for “Broth” or soup made by cooking seafood or vegetables.
“Umami” is not a sense, but a component of taste.
Discovered by Japanese scientists from kelp soup stock, it was also clarified that there is a tissue that senses the umami component on the tongue, and it was recognized as the fifth basic taste.

Possibility of umami
Originally, there are four basic tastes, sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and bitterness, and it has been said that the taste of food is determined by these.
A new addition to this is the fifth taste, “umami.”
It turned out that all ingredients contain umami ingredients in common.
We have come to be aware of cooking methods that make the best use of the taste of ingredients.
If the idea of ”umami” is added, you can bring out the deliciousness with a healthy cooking method that makes the best use of the taste of the ingredients by suppressing seasonings and oils.
