6. Dashi (Stock)
Japanese food uses all kind of dashi/stock in their meals. The most used dashi is Katsuo (bonito) Dashi and you can make your own too which is by boiling Katsuo flakes and filtering it, but if you have no time this is your best choice. Add a teaspoon or two in your miso soup or any other dishes and you'll be surprised how good it will taste like!
