In the official page's allergen information (28 items), wheat and soybean apply, and in the ingredient list they are written next to each ingredient, as in “たん白加水分解物（大豆を含む）” (hydrolyzed protein (contains soybean)) and “しょうゆ（小麦を含む）” (soy sauce (contains wheat)). The storage method and the manufacturer's address are not given on the official product page. The official page says “商品の改定等により、商品パッケージの記載内容が異なる場合があります” (the package may differ from this page because of product revisions).
Ingredients, one by one
| On the label | Type | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 食塩（国内製造）salt | Ingredient | Saltiness | Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so salt is the largest one. The salt equivalent is 10.2 g per 100 ml. |
| たん白加水分解物（大豆を含む）hydrolyzed protein (contains soybean) | Ingredient | Umami | Protein from soybeans and other sources, broken down into amino acids that have umami. It is treated as a food, so it is not in the additives section. “（大豆を含む）” (contains soybean) is individual labeling, which writes allergens next to each ingredient. |
| ふし（かつお、そうだかつお）fushi (dried fish) (bonito, frigate mackerel) | Ingredient | Dashi aroma and umami | Dried bonito (katsuobushi) and dried frigate mackerel (sodabushi). The parentheses give the kinds of fish. |
| 米発酵調味料rice fermented seasoning | Ingredient | Umami, mellowness | A seasoning made by fermenting rice. The official page does not give the blend. |
| 砂糖sugar | Ingredient | Sweetness | — |
| しょうゆ（小麦を含む）soy sauce (contains wheat) | Ingredient | Saltiness and umami | Even “白だし” (white dashi) contains soy sauce. “（小麦を含む）” (contains wheat) is individual allergen labeling. |
| 還元水飴reduced starch syrup | Ingredient | Sweetness | A sweetener made by adding hydrogen to starch syrup (mizuame). Under Japanese labeling it is treated as a food and is written before the “／” (slash). |
| かつおぶしエキスdried bonito extract | Ingredient | Bonito umami | A concentrated extract made by simmering dried bonito. |
| 魚介エキスseafood extract | Ingredient | Umami | The official page says the fish (seafood) contained in the seafood extract is bonito and frigate mackerel. |
| 醸造酢brewed vinegar | Ingredient | Sourness, tightens the flavor | Vinegar made by fermenting grains, fruit or other materials. The official page does not give the raw material. |
| 酵母エキスyeast extract | Ingredient | Umami | Made by extracting the inside of yeast. It is treated as a food, not a food additive. |
| 調味料（アミノ酸等）seasoning (amino acids, etc.) | Food additive | Umami | A food additive that adds umami, such as monosodium glutamate. Umami additives may be listed under the group name “調味料” (seasoning), and “（アミノ酸等）” is added when amino acids are the largest part. |
| アルコールalcohol | Food additive | Shelf life | Edible alcohol. In this product it is written after the “／” (slash), in the additives section. Alcohol (shusei) is sometimes written as a food ingredient and sometimes as an additive, depending on how it is used and on the company that labels it. The official page does not say why it is added. |
