With dashi packs, the more bags in a set, the harder it is to tell “how many servings and how many uses” it covers and “by when it should be used up.” In this article, we organized what the Rakuten Ichiba product page and the seller’s official website state about Kayanoya Dashi (茅乃舎だし; dashi is Japanese soup stock), 8g×30 bags, set of 2 (60 bags in total), into five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
What We Confirmed
- Quantity and a guideline for the number of servings
- Storage method and shelf life
- Ingredients and allergen labeling
- Suitability as a gift

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The Rakuten Ichiba product page does not list the ingredients, so we checked the labeling on the product page of the seller’s official website (8g×30 bags).
| Ingredients | Flavoring ingredients [bonito flakes (manufactured in Japan), dried sardine (niboshi) extract powder, grilled flying fish (yaki-ago), dried round herring (urume-iwashi-bushi), kombu], starch hydrolysate, yeast extract, salt, powdered soy sauce, fermented seasoningSource: product page on the seller’s official website (viewed October 9, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Allergens | (Contains wheat and soybeans)Source: same as above |
| Per Bag (8g) | 25kcal / protein 2.45g / fat 0.23g / carbohydrates 3.31g / salt equivalent 1.06gSource: same as above |
The Rakuten Ichiba product description says it combines “焼きあご・鰹節・うるめいわし・真昆布” (grilled flying fish, bonito flakes, round herring, ma-kombu), which is worded differently from the ingredient labeling on the official website. This article follows the official website’s labeling. If you have allergies, please check the food information label on the product when it arrives.
