I like Japanese food, but I don't really like mushrooms. This means I tend to avoid things that use them as the ingredients in large ways.
I do like Miso soup though - even though I understand that Real Dashi contains mushrooms. I blame my time as a teenager in the Japan Cultural Centre near Totenham Court Road buying the cheap Miso soup with fish food (tempura batter flakes) as it was the only way I could eat there.
Aged mushroom water - yum...
You get some cubes, & some paste
And you get a nice hot drink for a Feb evening starter before dinner. Just the right amount of salty and tangy and umami and 'mouthfulness'. Great split between two as a starter, or you could probably have one solo as an alternative to a nice cup of tea.
Have to bring your own flakes, but this tastes pretty darn close to the real deal!
