Nori
Dried Seaweed, Seaweed Sheets

Dashi
Japanese Soup Stock, Dashi Stock
Dashi is Japan's foundational stock—the backbone of Japanese cuisine. Made from kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), it exemplifies the fifth taste: umami.
Katsuobushi
Bonito Flakes, Dried Bonito
Katsuobushi is skipjack tuna that's been smoked, fermented, dried, and shaved into feathery flakes. It's one of the world's hardest foods and the soul of dashi.
Wakame
Seaweed Salad Seaweed, Miyeok
Wakame is the silky, tender seaweed found in miso soup and seaweed salad. It rehydrates in minutes and adds gentle ocean flavor and satisfying texture.

Ground crayfish is Nigeria's umami bomb—dried freshwater crayfish ground into powder. It adds intense seafood depth to soups and stews.
