## Description

Our dried shaved bonito flakes are a great option to choose if you want to make perfect flavoured soups at home. These Japanese fish flakes are rich in nutrients that add a perfect flavor to your Japanese dashi stock. Also, they add rich and savory flavor to your homemade soap and sauce base. 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞 Our shaved bonito flakes are traditional Japanese ingredients which can be used as a flavoring and as a topping to enhance the appearance of dishes. These are also an essential elements in making dashi (Japanese soup stock), which is an essential element of traditional Japanese cuisine, as well as being used extensively in traditional home recipes for soups, salads, and other dishes. 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫 We used a traditional method to dry our Japanese bonito flakes which give their characteristic flavor. In addition, the restaurant chefs use these smoked dried fish flakes to give their dashi stock a deep and aromatic flavor which makes their soup liked by everyone.

Review: I originally looked into these flakes to make dashi broth, but quickly realized they make excellent kitty treats as well! Any product that has multiple uses is a win for me and these flakes are great. I underestimated how large the 1lb bag would be, but it will last quite some time and is resealable. The flakes arrived in great shape and there is little to no “dust” or unusable crumbles (there is no such thing as unusable crumbles if you have kitties). My cats are spoiled rotten and only like freeze-dried fish treats which can be expensive in tiny quantities. This is a wonderful and economical alternative. While the only ingredient is skipjack tuna, be mindful of the natural sodium in the flakes especially if feeding to cats. Also, be sure to store the bag in a cat-safe area/alternate container or they will try to chew through the bag like the greedy little furballs they are.
Review: My cats love this as much as I do!! Many cat food purveyors sell the exact same product at HUGE mark ups. Cat tax ;) This is even higher quality and I use it for my Dashi Broths as well.
