Mentsuyu is a popular Japanese soup base used often to make soba and udon noodle dishes. This soup base from Yamaki is made with two types of bonito flakes for a balanced taste. Yamaki is one of Japan’s leading manufacturers of bonito flakes with more than 100 years of experience, having started the company in 1917.
The soup base is made from traditional Japanese cooking ingredients such as soy sauce, mirin, kombu (kelp), and sake in addition to bonito flakes. As well as a soup base for noodles, mentsuyu can also be used as a dipping sauce for cold noodle dishes or tempura. Expect a deep, savory, and umami flavor when used in your dishes.

Pleasant taste
- KGKevin G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/17/24Yamaki Mentsuyu Sauce Soup Base is the Best Cooking Hack Ever!
I made this beautiful and super delicious beef udon noodle soup in ten minutes. Mix the soup base with water, bring to boil, add shaved ribeye (I bought already shaved - paper thin slices), turn off heat. Put pre-cooked udon noodles in bowl and ladle broth and beef over top. The soup base is loaded with umami, and has a wonderful smokey flavor.

I used this for ozoni soup by adding some water and a stick of kombu dashi powder. It turned out very tasty. I think you can use this in a lot of different ways by adding a bit of something extra.
