As a substitute look for instant dashi powder in a jar or packet. Something like this.
Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm afraid that trying to find something like that down here is just the impossible dream. I would ask my grandson to bring it down when it comes next month but he's informed me that I've reached my limit of available space. He makes quick trips down here quite often and only brings a carry on. However, I have saved the page and I will put it down for a future trip
In the meantime, I have found a recipe for a mushroom Dashi and I think I'll give that a try. I'm not even sure if it can properly be called Dashi without the Bonito flakes.
