I went to Hong Kong Market and they said they don't stock it (although they stock Miso). I haven't found it at H-E-B, either.

Thu Feb 05 14:37:32 -0800 2009 4391008 149286 absurdnerdbird 1 4422642 There's an Asian community and several restaurants and stores (at least one is a big, full-blown grocery) either on Fuqua or Scarsdale, in the vicinity of Beamer. I'm sorry I can't remember a name. I bought Dashi at one of them. It is Shimaya brand (made in Japan) "Bonito Flavored" Soup Stock, and comes 10 bags (2 tsp each) to a box. Warning: Contains MSG. $2.69/box.

Down the road to the east, the smaller My Quang Food Market at Scarsdale and IH-45 has similar items, but this time I couldn't find any dashi there. Tue Feb 24 15:07:45 -0800 2009 4422642 249844 Pirate Paul 1 4423837 Actually, I've seen it in Central Market Dallas. Good luck. I can't believe you are having a hard time finding it. I think dashi comes in most tempura mixes, but I could be wrong. It's what you use to make the tempura sauce.

I think that's the name.

If you go to the a CM Partner ask for the "Shibuyu bonito soup stock." Good luck. If you get really desperate, you can order it online at asianfoodgrocer.com. I've ordered some products from them. Their selection of dashi is much greater...kombu and katsuo which I believe is bonito. Wed Feb 18 18:44:24 -0800 2009 4391008 110766 jindomommy 1 4447315 This past Saturday, saw about 5 or 6 brands of dashi granules at Hong Kong Market on Bellaire, aisle 6. Tue Feb 24 08:34:17 -0800 2009 4391008 149286 absurdnerdbird 1 5149046 I just bought dashi kombu yesterday at Hubbell & Hudson in The Woodlands; phone no is 281) 203-5641. http://www.hubbellandhudson.com/ Mon Nov 02 09:13:48 -0800 2009 4391008 1121073 l58child 1 5149200 Nippon Daido should definitely have dashi, it shouldn't be hard to find. You can also try HK Market or Super H-Mart. Mon Nov 02 09:49:23 -0800 2009 4391008 38366 air 2 5156617 They do - I just bought some there last week. They have about 4-5 different kinds and in different sizes. Also, Nippon Daido was going to be my suggestion as well. Great little shop with lots of friendly employees and a great selection, go check it out! Wed Nov 04 16:37:13 -0800 2009 5149200 260846 wompa164
