Ajinomoto MSG 200g

Ajinomoto — The Original Umami Seasoning!

Ajinomoto has been made in Japan since 1909 and is the benchmark for pure umami seasoning. A small pinch lifts savouriness and rounds off sharp edges without making food taste salty.

Standard in soups, stir-fries, marinades and fried rice across Asia. The trick is restraint — a quarter teaspoon does more than a tablespoon of anything else.

Fine crystals that dissolve instantly, so it works at any point in cooking.

MSG is most effective as part of balanced seasoning, not as a replacement for salt, aromatics or stock. Add a small pinch while cooking, taste, and stop once the savoury flavours feel fuller and more connected.

The 200g pack is easy to keep beside everyday seasonings and useful across Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian and home-style dishes.

Used carefully, it supports the ingredients already in the pan rather than covering them.
