Kubara Honke Group (headquartered in Hisayama, Kasuya District, Fukuoka Prefecture; President: Tetsuji Kawabe) has renewed the "Dashi Soup" lineup from Kubara Honke Co., Ltd., which sells Japanese seasonings including "Kayanoya Dashi." The renewed products launched on Monday, February 2, 2026. These instant dashi soups deliver rich, aromatic flavors with just hot water.
Renewed to Better Complement Your Meals
Since its initial launch in 2018, Kayanoya's "Dashi Soup" has been beloved by customers for its convenience and portable stick format. This renewal enhances the natural flavors of ingredients and refines the taste to better pair with meals. Even on busy days when meal prep needs to be quick, or when relying on bento boxes or prepared foods, a single serving of soup can significantly elevate dining satisfaction. Pair the Japanese-style with rice balls, the Western-style with sandwiches, or the Chinese-style with fried rice. These soups are perfect as an additional dish for your table.
Updated Packaging Design
With this renewal, the packaging has been redesigned into a more compact, lightweight format that's convenient to carry. These make thoughtful gifts or small tokens of appreciation suitable for various occasions.
Japanese-Style Dashi Soup
A Japanese-style dashi soup layered with the umami of grilled flying fish and bonito flakes. This renewed version adds hon-karebushi (aged bonito flakes) for a richer aroma. Includes ao-nori seaweed and sesame.

Western-Style Dashi Soup
A Western-style dashi soup combining vegetable and scallop umami. The onion sweetness has been enhanced for a gentler, more comforting flavor reminiscent of French onion soup.
