I tried the Kombu no Umami Dashi Shoyu Cold Yakko Set from Family Mart. The slightly sweet dashi soy sauce and spicy grated ginger flavor are perfect. It contains 98 kcal, 8.2g (0.07oz) protein, 4.6g (0.21oz) fat, 5.7g (0.25oz) sugar, 0.8g (0.28oz) dietary fiber, 1.2g (0.07oz) salt equivalent, and is priced at 138 yen (tax included).

Kombu no Umami Dashi Soy Sauce Cold Yakko Set

Soft tofu with the flavor of kelp is served with a packet of dashi soy sauce, grated ginger, and bonito. When each item is opened and placed in a bowl, it has an elegant appearance. It is a large portion, so it is not bad to eat it with chopsticks or a bamboo whisk.


The soft and smooth texture of the silken rice blends well with the slightly sweet taste of kelp in the broth and soy sauce, and is complemented by the spiciness and fresh aroma of grated ginger. The texture and flavor of the fluffy shavings also add a delightful accent.


It is a satisfying meal that can be served with onigiri (rice balls) or without a main meal for a light lunch. Even when you are feeling a bit bloated from the heat and have no appetite, you will find that it will go down your throat smoothly. It is also suitable to be enjoyed with a cup of refreshing barley or green tea.
