Let me introduce you to an incredibly delicious potato chip that available exclusively in KANSAI region of Japan! It’s “KANSAI DASHI SOY SAUCE” flavor.
Dashi is a Japanese soup stock that forms the foundation of many traditional Japanese dishes. It’s made by simmering ingredients like komb (kelp), bonito flakes (dried, smoked fish flakes), and sometimes shiitake mushrooms or small dried sardines, in water. Dashi has a subtle yet rich umami flavor, which enhances the taste of soups, broths, sauces, and other dishes in Japanese cuisine. Additionally, the flavor and ingredients used in dashi can ver slightly depending on the region of Japan. In the Kanto region tends to use a stronger blend of bonito flakes, resulting in a most robust and savory taste. In contrast, the KANSAI region, where lighter flavors are preferred, kombu is often emphasized, creating a more delicate broth.
This “KANSAI DASHI SOY SAUSE” flavored potato chips perfectly capture the rich flavor of Kansai-style dashi, making them incredibly delishious. The district taste of the broth, with its delicate savory notes, is beautifully expressed in every bite.
Ingredients and nutritional information is as detailed below.
I received these as a souvenir, but I believe you can purchase them at supermarkets or convenience stores in Osaka and other areas of the Kansai region.
