Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so this is the largest. “国内製造” (made in Japan) means processed in Japan. The front of the package says “十二種の国産（加工地）原料” (twelve domestic (place of processing) ingredients). |
| いわし煮干dried small sardines (niboshi) | Ingredient | Umami | Sardines that have been boiled and dried. According to the description on the front of the package, there are two kinds: pilchard and Japanese anchovy. |

Not found in the ingredient list

This is the ingredient list from Ajinomoto’s official page (checked 2026-09-29). Food additives are shown in red. Some granulated dashi products have salt as the largest ingredient. The way of use also differs: granules are simply dissolved, while a dashi pack is simmered.
Good points and concerns
+Good points
- 11 items in the ingredient list (12 kinds on the package), all foods. No food additives
- No added salt, umami seasoning or yeast extract
- The front of the package says the 12 kinds of ingredients were processed in Japan
−Concerns
- ¥1,382 for 200 g (about ¥691 per 100 g). About ¥69 per pack (10 g)
- A simmer-type pack (put 1 pack in 400 to 500 ml of water and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes after it boils). It cannot be simply dissolved like granules
- It contains dried shrimp, so people with a shrimp allergy cannot use it
