Development Background
At Kyoto Rikyu, based on the concept of "Dashi life that changes your life," we are making efforts to allow people to experience the charm of dashi from all angles. This product was born from the desire to "enjoy dashi more on a daily basis" and "convey it intuitively to younger generations and overseas customers."
In addition to traditional ways of enjoying dashi such as drinking, using it in cooking, and sprinkling it, we challenge the new genre of "eating."
We propose a new style where you can intuitively feel the umami of dashi. Pursuing the balance between the umami of natural ingredients and texture, it was completed after repeated prototyping. We have realized a deep flavor that spreads in one bite and a light texture.
From something you "drink" to something you "eat". We will deliver a new umami experience from Kyoto.
