Wild Kurokuchi-hama Makombu for Dashi

Wild Makombu from Kurokuchi-hama in Hokkaido is a premium quality product, harvested in limited quantities. A key ingredient in traditional dashi broth, Makombu is revered as the “King of Kombu” among the four famous varieties. Prized for its clear colour and clean, rich umami, Makombu from this region is well known as the base for sweet and rich dashi.   A unique ageing process of more than three years in our kombu cellar further enhances the complex umami.
