ICHIBIKI- Straight Chanko Hot Pot Soup Base 720g

Description

ICHIBIKI- Straight Chanko Hot Pot Soup Base captures the robust, umami-rich essence of authentic chanko nabe—the iconic hot pot beloved by sumo wrestlers for its nourishing depth. Made with slow straight-boiled bonito-kelp dashi (for clean savoriness), simmered pork stock (for meaty richness), aged soy sauce, mirin, and a hint of scallion, it balances delicate dashi umami, hearty pork depth, and subtle sweet-savory warmth, far more authentic than generic hot pot bases.
The 720g size is perfect for shared meals: ample enough to serve 4-6 people, making it ideal for family dinners, friend gatherings, or winter nourishing feasts. Its layered flavor stands up to a variety of ingredients—seafood, meat, vegetables, and tofu—remaining rich and flavorful even as ingredients release their juices, eliminating the need for extra seasoning mid-cook.
As a ready-to-use base, it eliminates the hassle of simmering dual stocks (dashi and pork) for hours or blending multiple seasonings. No complex preparation needed—just dilute with hot water (per taste) and add ingredients. Keep it handy, and you can whip up a restaurant-worthy chanko hot pot anytime, turning casual meals into hearty, communal feasts.
