Yamae Takachiho Gorge Bonito Soup – 500ml | Rich Umami Dashi with Honey & Kirishima Spring Water

Experience the depth of Japanese umami with Yamae Food Industry’s Takachiho Gorge Bonito Soup (500ml) — a ready-to-use straight soup base crafted from carefully selected bonito flakes and pure underground spring water from the Kirishima mountain range. Blended with a touch of honey, this soup delivers a rich, smooth, and slightly sweet profile that enhances both traditional and modern dishes.

This versatile dashi-style soup base can be enjoyed as a dipping sauce for somen, soba, udon, and tempura, or used as a flavorful base for donburi rice bowls, hiyayakko (cold tofu), nimono (simmered dishes), and more. Its umakuchi (rich yet light) taste adds a perfect balance of depth and brightness to your cooking without overpowering the natural flavors of your ingredients.

Whether you're making a simple chilled noodle dish or a comforting bowl of simmered vegetables, Takachiho Gorge Soup is an easy way to elevate your everyday meals with authentic Japanese flavor.
