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 taste on the tongue. Dashi, in particular, 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 Ramen restaurant flavor that has long lines of customers.

point!
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most widely used mushrooms, so much so that they are simply called shiitake in English. Raw mushrooms are used in a variety of ways, including grilled, as an ingredient in hot pots and soups, and in tempura. Dried mushrooms have enhanced Umami and aroma, and are used to extract dashi stock. From the growth stage, there are three types: Donko, which are thick-fleshed with their caps open 70%, Koushin, which are thin with their caps open, and Kouko, which is intermediate. The Umami components and flavor of shiitake mushrooms are sensitive to heat, so it is recommended to steep them in water when extracting dashi stock.
