I highly recommend this Komubu! Review: Kombu dashi - Great Korean kombu dashi. It’s quite thin which is good for a quick infusion. I cut a piece from the pack into a 1/3 and place this in 700ml of water for around 4/5 hours. Then put it on the lowest gas setting for around 10-15 minutes until bubbles start to form giving a few stirs. Then once it’s almost hot turn the gas up and let it almost boil. Then remove. It’s a great addition to making Japanese soups I like to make miso ramen with this dashi. With carrots and sweet potato with some miso and some soba noodles. Then add some scallions and Teriaki glazed firm tofu. You can use this as a base for any Japanese/ Korean food. Just make sure you clean it before use. If you want top quality though I recommend the thicker Japanese kombu though this is much more expensive. This kombu is good enough I use this several times a week. And you get so so much in a pack for such a cheap price. Make sure to give it a wipe before use however as it’s evident it is fresh from the sea as there are small pieces of sea matter on the seaweed :) ## Features - Dried kelp - Vegetarian stock used in japanese cooking - Country string: south korea - WEL-PAC Dashi Kombu Dried Kelp 113.4 g ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001SR0B0S | | Allergen Information | Contains: Crustacean, Fish, Molluscs | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,638 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 5 in Dried Vegetables 374 in Cooking Ingredients | | Brand | Wel-Pac | | Brand Name | Wel-Pac | | Colour | Kelp | | Cuisine | Japanese | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,098 Reviews | | Item Form | dried | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 113.4 Grams | | Item form | dried | | Item weight | 113.4 Grams | | Manufacturer | Wel-Pac | | Manufacturer Contact Information | JFC(UK) Unit 17 7 Premier Park Road London NW10 7NZ | | Model Number | E1009 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Package Size Name | Pack of 1 | | Part Number | E1009 | | Size | 113.4 g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Suitable for Vegetarians | | UPC | 011152134079 786173775937 | | Unit Count | 113.4 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wel-Pac - **Cuisine:** Japanese - **Item form:** Dried - **Item weight:** 113.4 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 ## Images ![WEL-PAC Dashi Kombu Dried Kelp 113.4 g | Authentic dried kombu kelp seaweed strips.

The white stuff is what gives your stock that umami flavour. Use a damp cloth, give it a quick wipe and you're ready to cook with it. **Q: Why have I still not received my item,it's been serial weeks?** A: it should be asked to the seller. **Q: How come this exact same product costs £3.99 at the Japan centre, why do you charge more?!** A: Some products also imported from high tariff areas so incur other costs that can be restrictive hence some more "Exotic" products are higher charged especially if that product is is not a high volume product such as noodles etc **Q: Could you please provide info on the Iodine content for this brand?** A: The package doesn't say, sorry ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product! *by L***N on 3 June 2026* Very tasty and not 'over' dried as you can sometimes get from mail order of foreign products.
