Iwao’s select “DASHI” (Japanese fish stock)
We use top grade kombu kelp and carefully selected domestic dried fish flakes and soft water from Kyoto. They are perfect in bringing out the flavor from these ingredients which makes the gentle but rich tasting dashi character of Kyoto cuisine.
The kombu kelp are naturally grown in the sea of Rishiri and Rebun Islands. The dried fish flakes are a mixture of bonito, frigate mackerel, round herring, and mackerel flakes. For water, we use the fine quality underground water taken from our well.
