For the Japanese, ’Kombucha’ is Kombu (kelp) tea which is basically ground dried Kombu. Sometimes tea leaves and salt is added. You make the drink by mixing the ‘Kombucha’ powder with hot water. ‘Kombucha’ tastes more like dashi stock. It is totally different from the ‘Kombucha’, a tea-like health drink.

I don’t drink ‘Kombucha’ but it is a handy seasoning for cooking as it can instantly add ‘Umami’ from kelp to the dish.

This ‘Pickled Celery’ is my current craze. You can use Instant Kombu Dashi Powder instead, as it is almost ground kelp.
