Katsuobushi is especially high in sodium inosinate and kombu is especially high in glutamic acids; combined, they create a synergy of umami. Granulated or liquid instant ''dashi'' largely replaced the homemade product in the second half of the 20th century. Homemade ''dashi'' is less popular today, even in Japan.
