Hirado Ago Dashi (Flying Fish Broth)

An elegant, umami-rich broth born from the sea of Hirado. 'Ago' refers to flying fish in Kyushu. The waters near Hirado are a prime fishing ground for flying fish; the caught fish are roasted fragrantly over charcoal and slowly dried to create 'Yaki-ago' (roasted flying fish). Records show that during the Edo period, the Lord of the Hirado Clan presented dried and roasted Ago to his residence in Edo, making Hirado known since ancient times as one of the centers of Ago dashi culture. Its clear, clean umami without any impurities provides a deep richness to udon, miso soup, and Hirado Champon soup. Just adding a spoonful to your cooking can instantly elevate an ordinary dish to something elegant. Please experience the food culture of Hirado, nurtured by the sea, starting from a single drop of this broth.
