Dashi soy sauce combines the seasoning role of soy sauce with dashi-derived savory character. Formulas differ, so it is best treated as its own seasoned condiment rather than a universal one-for-one substitute.

Where it works

Common applications include noodles, rice, vegetables, marinades and quick finishing sauces. Start lightly and adjust to taste because sodium and concentration vary by product.

Cabi’s version

Cabi describes its Umami Dashi Soy Sauce as savory, light and slightly sweet and currently lists it as a core pantry product.
