Ninben was founded in 1645 in Osaka, Japan, with a single mission: to perfect the art of dashi. For over 375 years, they have been the trusted supplier to Japan's top chefs and restaurants. This Organic Tsuyu was created for the modern home cook who wants authentic, complex umami flavor without spending hours simmering kombu and katsuobushi. The formula uses only two ingredients: organic bonito flakes from the Kagoshima prefecture and organic kombu from the Rishiri island, both certified by JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard). Every batch is tested in Ninben's own laboratory for purity and flavor profile, ensuring the same quality served in Michelin-starred kitchens. It is the top-ranked concentrated soup base in Japan for home use, trusted for its consistent, restaurant-grade results.

Ninben Organic Tsuyu Concentrated Soup Base 300ml is crafted with a carefully selected blend of organic ingredients that form the foundation of authentic Japanese dashi. The primary components include organic soy sauce, which provides the characteristic umami-rich saltiness and depth of flavor, and organic mirin, a sweet rice wine that balances the saltiness while adding a subtle sweetness and sheen to dishes. Organic bonito flakes (katsuobushi) are included to deliver a smoky, savory essence, while organic kombu (kelp) contributes a delicate marine umami and minerals. These ingredients work synergistically to create a versatile soup base that enhances the flavor of noodle soups, hot pots, and dipping sauces without the need for artificial additives. The use of organic ingredients ensures a cleaner, more natural taste profile, free from pesticides and synthetic chemicals, offering users the benefits of an authentic Japanese culinary experience with the added assurance of organic quality and sustainability. This concentrated formula allows for economical use and consistent flavor, making it a convenient staple for both home cooks and professional kitchens seeking to incorporate traditional Japanese flavors into their dishes.
