FAQ
How do I store Bonito Flakes after opening?
Keep the flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains freshness for up to six months.
Can I use Bonito Flakes in non‑Japanese recipes?
Absolutely. Their rich umami works well in soups, stews, marinades, and even as a topping for popcorn or roasted vegetables.
Are these flakes suitable for people with fish allergies?
No. Bonito Flakes are made from skipjack tuna and contain fish proteins, so they are not safe for individuals with fish allergies.
What is the best way to rehydrate the flakes for broth?
Simmer a tablespoon of flakes in two cups of water for five minutes, then strain. The resulting dashi can be used as a base for soups, sauces, and noodle dishes.
Do the flakes contain any added salt?
Our product contains only the natural salt from the fish and the smoking process; no extra salt is added.
