Master Japanese cuisine at home with Kayanoya's seasoning products

Kayanoya’s products not only deliver authentic Japanese flavours but are also easy to use for home cooks of all levels, ensuring a hassle-free cooking experience that gets you in and out of the kitchen in the blink of an eye. For example, to prepare a delicious dashi, simply place a dashi packet in a pot of water and stir gently to release the flavours. Once the broth turns a golden amber colour, heat it until boiling, then let it simmer for a few minutes before removing the packet.

What’s more, their dashi and seasoning powders can be used for every meal of the day. Kickstart your morning with a warm bowl of miso soup made with Kayanoya’s freeze-dried mushroom miso soup blocks. Each soup block is packed with flavourful mushrooms like nameko, bunashimeji, and maitake. Just place your soup block into a bowl, pour 160ml of hot water on top, stir to dissolve, and it’s ready to eat.

Kayanoya’s dashi packs are also perfect for on-the-go meals, allowing you to easily prepare flavourful broth in minutes. For a nutritious lunch that can be conveniently prepared in the office pantry, steep your preferred dashi flavour in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes. We recommend adding an onigiri rice ball to your dashi, letting the rice soak up the flavourful broth so you can savour Kayanoya’s dashi with every spoonful.

When it comes to dinner, Kayanoya has even created nyumen – instant noodle packs – for the ultimate quick and easy meal after a long day of work. Place your block of noodles in a bowl, pour in 400ml of boiling water, cover for three minutes, and add in the included sauce packet. From there, load your bowl with your favourite toppings like chashu, spring onions, shredded chicken, and blanched vegetables – the options are endless.

Kayanoya prides itself on strictly using chef-selected ingredients such as bonito flakes, dried kelp, sardines, and shiitake mushrooms to create its range of products. Each ingredient is full of umami and low in sodium, making their products a healthy choice.  

Unlike traditional dashi-making methods that require multiple steps and lengthy processes to extract flavours, Kayanoya’s seasoning packets allow you to easily create authentic Japanese soup stock in a fraction of the time, without sacrificing any of the flavours.

Plus, Kayanoya’s products are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes. Tear open your preferred dashi packets to make everything from light salad dressings to rich pasta sauces, add flavour to savoury cookies, or incorporate Japanese twists on casual dishes like pho or tacos.

With how convenient it is to use Kayanoya’s dashi and seasoning powders to create authentic Japanese dishes that are both delicious and nutritious, these products are a must-have addition to your pantry. Hongkongers can find Kayanoya’s offerings at city’super’s online shop, as well as store locations in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Shatin, Central, Kai Tak, and Wong Chuk Hang.
