Japanese Umami Paste & Stock

Clearspring’s authentic Japanese Umami Paste and Stock add a boost of flavour to a wide variety of dishes, enhancing your ingredients with the deep, savoury taste of umami. Often described as the “fifth taste,” umami originates from Japan and means “savoury deliciousness,” offering a rich, complex layer that lifts everything from stir-fries to soups.

For a plant-based stock from scratch, try using Kombu and Shiitake Mushrooms, which impart their own subtle umami richness. Alternatively, our Noodle Broth is a versatile base that can be diluted to create shoyu-based soups or to season stews, offering a convenient way to introduce authentic Japanese-inspired flavours to your meals.
