Japan 🇯🇵
Everyday Japanese food rests on a few base flavours: soy sauce, miso, mirin and dashi. With those in the cupboard, you're never far from a proper ramen or a simple miso soup. At FUDI you'll find the staples and the noodles.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between light and dark miso? Light miso is fermented for a shorter time and milder, good in soup. Dark is aged longer, saltier and more robust, and stands up better to marinades and stews.
Can I swap mirin for something else? Sugar dissolved in a little rice vinegar comes closest, but you lose the sheen mirin gives glazed dishes.
