Nissin Foods' 'Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke' Tasting Review: The Flavor of Dashi and Ingredients is Deep
Nissin Foods' ' Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke Sea Bream Dashi/Mentaiko, ' which can be completed simply by adding hot water, will be released on September 15, 2025. Each dish is characterized by the umami of sea bream dashi and the pungent spiciness of mentaiko, and we tried this product provided by Nissin Foods ahead of time.
Two 'Nissin Dashi Chazuke' products supervised by Gion Sasaki (released September 15th) | News Release | Nissin Foods Group
On the left is 'Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke with Sea Bream Dashi,' and on the right is 'Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke with Mentaiko.'
First, we sampled the 'sea bream dashi,' which is made with sea bream seasoning, pork fat, sesame paste, kelp seasoning, and conger eel seasoning.
Calories are 276kcal per serving.
The 'Aosa' bag is glued to the top of the lid, so remove it.
Open the lid halfway and pour in hot water.
Wait 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, open the lid and mix well.
Add the green laver and it's done.
The ochazuke has a rich flavor and aroma of dashi, and the sea bream meatballs added a nice texture. The aroma of sesame and seaweed adds a rich flavor. It's easy to eat and has a nice salty taste, making it a very satisfying dish.
Next, we will try some mentaiko.
The ingredients include processed mentaiko (spicy cod roe), processed cod roe (tarako), shichimi pepper, etc.
Calories are 279kcal per serving.
First, open the lid halfway and pour in hot water.
Wait 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, open the lid and mix well.
As expected, the flavor and aroma of the dashi stock was well-balanced and the taste was deep. The mentaiko was slightly spicy and the mentaiko flavor was clearly present, and the sliced mentaiko also had a strong presence. It was mild, yet had a strong umami flavor from the dashi stock, and it didn't just end up being spicy. The flavor was strong, so it was quite satisfying, and even though it was just ochazuke, it felt filling. However, I also felt that the texture of the dried rice, which had been rehydrated in hot water, wasn't really suitable for ochazuke.
'Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke Sea Bream Dashi' and 'Gion Sasaki Supervised Nissin Dashi Chazuke Mentaiko' are scheduled to be released on September 15, 2025. The suggested retail price is 298 yen per serving (excluding tax).
