Ago-iri Hyoshiro Dashi (あご入兵四郎だし)

The story behind it

This is a Japanese-style dashi pack built around ago, or flying fish, from Aji no Hyoshiro in Chikushino, Fukuoka. Kyushu has long used fragrant ago dashi for celebrations and for New Year cooking.

Yaki-ago (grilled flying fish) is combined with katsuobushi, kombu, shiitake, sardine, and other domestic ingredients, then ground and packed into paper sachets. Tear one open and the contents work either as a dashi or as a seasoning straight from the bag.

A first-draw dashi of restaurant quality, at home, without the labor. This is a box for people who refuse to give up the aroma of yaki-ago and kombu on a busy day.
