It's main ingredient isn't saltThe main ingredients are fish not salt so that's good. Seem to provide a more settle flavor. A little expensive though

Goodbye salt!So glad I found this. I cut open several of these packets and put them into a glass spice jar. Then, I sprinkle it as a salt substitute on my stir fry and many other foods I make. It's delicious and I don't miss the salt at all!

Don't know what dashi is SUPPOSED to taste like, but...A little (much later) update: THIS IS NOT A SALT-FREE PRODUCT!!!! THE DRIED FISH USED TO MAKE DASHI BASE IS H E A V I L Y SALTED!!!
I just want to talk about salt for a moment. I've seen complaints about amounts of salt in other brands, even though they claim to have no added salt. Katsuobushi (dried bonito) is heavily salted to preserve the fish while drying, so there is no way to make dashi be "not salty". I use these dashi bags AS a source of salt when cooking. So, yeah, there may be no more salt added when producing the dashi bags, but the dried fish is heavily salted to dry it…
This is tasty! Very easy to use, clearly, and gave a REALLY nice flavor to chicken soup. I was afraid it might taste fishy (and I am NOT a seafood eater!) but I didn't find it fishy at all, even when tasting it before adding the chicken broth. Could have left it as it was and had a really tasty chicken soup, but I also added miso, which was interesting. It was good, but then I added a good teaspoon+ of sesame oil, and that took it over the top. So good! Sesame oil is delicious anyway, but maybe it brought out other oil soluble flavors (or at least "carried the flavors across the palate") because it seemed to add a LOT of depth to the overall flavor, rather than just adding the taste of toasted sesame…
Anyway, I definitely recommend these dashi "teabags" – easy to use, no mess, and adds lovely flavor to soups. I'm sure to find many uses for these in the future!
