Teraoka's story began in 1928 in Osaka, Japan, when founder Kichizo Teraoka saw how modern life was making it harder for families to prepare traditional, nourishing meals from scratch. He created this double-concentrate mentsuyu to solve that problem, offering authentic dashi flavor in seconds. Every ingredient is sourced from certified organic Japanese farms, with a specific focus on the quality of the kombu and katsuobushi. The formula is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict Japanese Food Sanitation Laws.

Organic Teraoka Japanese Mentsuyu - Double Concentrate Dashi Soup Stock 240ml by Teraoka Shokuhin is crafted from a blend of high-quality, certified organic ingredients that form the foundation of traditional Japanese umami flavor. The primary components include organic soy sauce, which provides a rich, savory base and natural saltiness while enhancing the overall depth of the soup. Organic mirin, a sweet rice wine, is incorporated to balance the saltiness with a subtle sweetness and to impart a glossy sheen to dishes. Organic sake contributes a mild alcoholic note that helps to meld flavors and reduce any unwanted odors from other ingredients. The inclusion of organic kombu (kelp) and organic katsuobushi (bonito flakes) creates the essential dashi stock, offering a complex umami profile with kombu delivering a delicate marine sweetness and katsuobushi adding a smoky, robust character. Organic sugar is used to round out the flavor profile, ensuring a harmonious blend. Additionally, organic vinegar may be included to provide a slight tanginess that brightens the overall taste. This concentrate allows users to effortlessly prepare authentic Japanese soups, noodle broths, and dipping sauces with consistent quality, offering convenience without compromising on the traditional, health-conscious benefits of organic sourcing, such as being free from synthetic pesticides and additives, while delivering a nutrient-rich, flavorful experience.
