All Reviews of Kayanoya COREDO Muromachi Nihonbashi Store

This time, a classmate dragged me along to browse Kayanoya. Their family had asked them to stock up all at once on enough dashi packets and seasonings for chawanmushi to last the next six months. Since I usually don’t have much opportunity to cook, I could only look at most of the products and put them back. Then I happened to spot the “だしふりかけ” at the end. It didn’t require cooking and wasn’t too expensive, so I bought the bonito and plum bonito flavors to try back in Taiwan.

After actually trying them, they changed the way I think about furikake. This kind is moister, and the flavor is more deeply absorbed. Comparing the two, the bonito flavor is milder, with the savory taste of dashi and dried bonito as the main notes. The plum bonito has the added tart aroma of plum and red shiso, making it more refreshing and appetizing. I especially like the plum bonito. When it’s hot in the summer and I don’t feel like eating much, something slightly tart really can make me eat another bowl of rice.

I originally thought Kayanoya was mainly suited to people who cook regularly, but even someone like me who rarely cooks can find suitable products there. It’s really nice.

Kayanoya dashi packets are very user-friendly for someone like me who isn't good at cooking. No matter what kind of dish you want to make, just add a dashi packet—even plain water can be transformed into something special.

The Kayanoya on Dazaifu Omotesando offers a limited-edition “Japanese-Style Plum Dashi Packet.” The cute packaging makes it perfect as a gift or for yourself. They also have a limited-edition plum vinegar drink that's refreshing, thirst-quenching, and perfect for cooling off. So good!

A renowned premium Japanese food brand, famous for its all-natural, additive-free dashi packets. Its signature Kayanoya Dashi is made with carefully selected natural ingredients such as bonito flakes, kombu, and flying fish. Just steep the packet to create a rich, savory Japanese broth that's perfect for miso soup, hot pot, stews, rice dishes, and other Japanese recipes.

I loved visiting this shop! You can buy soup stock packs as souvenirs for friends and family, and also take some home to cook for your loved ones. The prices are much better than Japanese product specialty stores in Taiwan!

It's a favorite spot for housewives to shop!

You don't have to go all the way to Japan to buy this—it's available on Taiwanese shopping websites too.

The first time I bought Kayanoya products to take home, I was really impressed! I originally just wanted to check out the Ginza flagship store designed by Kengo Kuma, but ended up picking up a few things since everything is organic and additive-free. The soup stock, sauces, and seasonings are all great. The soup stock is super versatile—you can use it for fried rice, cooking, porridge, or soup. It's so convenient and easy to use, and the broth tastes really fresh and delicious.

All their products are healthy and organic, and the prices are really reasonable. I buy their stuff all the time.
