[Professionals teach you] How to make cucumber dashi (stock) and recipes
Introduction
The role of dashi in Ramen is a hidden supporting role that enhances the umami of the soup and Ramen as a whole. Natural dashi extracts not only Umami components, but also natural flavors, richness, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and more. Relying on chemical seasonings can result in an unpleasant bitter aftertaste or a numbing flavor.
In particular, the culture of dashi is a taste of home for the Japanese people that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The more you enhance the dashi flavor, the more addictive it becomes, resulting in the flavor of Ramen restaurants that have customers lining up to enjoy it.
All of the trendy Ramen shops that have been lining up in recent years are thriving businesses that use soup made from a combination of "soup x Japanese dashi."

point!
Cucumbers are native to the Himalayan foothills in northern India and were first eaten in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC, before spreading throughout the world. They were cultivated in Japan during the Heian period, but it is said that they only began to be widely consumed in the early Showa period. There are many varieties, and they can be eaten raw, and many can be consumed in one cultivation, making them one of the most popular vegetables.
