sauces are tamari (wheat-free) and usukuchi
shoyu (lighterandsaltier thanregular).
Dashiis a stock base made from dried kelp
anddried bonito flakes. It is used in many dishes
and is the heart of miso soup, a staple of the

varietiesare commonly used instead of homemade. Other popular bases for dashi are shiitake
mushrooms and sardines.

a rich, salty flavor to Japanese salad dressings,
pickles and soup.
