About White dashi
White dashi is a pale Japanese seasoning liquid or stock product intended to provide dashi flavour while contributing less dark colour than many conventional dashi preparations. Products commonly use ingredients such as bonito or kelp, but recipes and concentrations vary, and some are concentrated seasonings rather than ready-to-use stock.
It is used to season soups, simmered foods, and other dishes where a lighter appearance is wanted. It is typically a clear, pourable liquid with a savoury, salty flavour, but the exact taste depends on its ingredients. The name alone does not define a standard recipe or dilution strength.
