Question:	What is the sodium amount
Answer:	20 mg per 6g suggested serving size (1% RDV)
Question:	Are there MSG in them
Answer:	MSG (monosodium glutamate) is an industrialized chemical that is used to add "umami" flavor to foods. Bonito flakes (and mushrooms and lots of other things) contain naturally occurring glutamic acid that also adds umami. This product does not contain the industrialized chemical.

Answer:	No just keep in a cool, dry place. It’s dried to preserve.
Question:	Can the flakes be grounded into a powder
Answer:	I know it’s ground into tiny flakes for use in Furikake. Since it’s super dry product, it would easily lend itself to being powderized. Don’t know how it would taste though. I use it for Dashi and eat it topped on steamed rice with Nori. (Look up “cat rice”) SHB

Product description

3.3 ounces. (100 gram) bag. Although bonito is one of the most important fish in Japanese cuisine, it is rarely eaten as the entre of a meal. Instead, the dark, oily fish is carefully dried and shaved into very fine, intensely flavored flakes known as katsobushi. These salty flakes are combined with kombu seaweed to make dashi, the base stock for most Japanese soups and broths. Dashi is present in so many Japanese foods that the cuisine would hardly be the same without it. The strong, clean fish flavor of katsobushi makes it a wonderful seasoning for wakame seaweed salads, for seasoning chilled tofu, and for sprinkling over steamed or sauted vegetables.

• Contains a plastic bag of 3.52 ounce Bonito flakes (jikabiyaki honkatsu)
• Could be used as a base stock for soups and broths
• Product of Japan

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the shelf life of this stuff after opening
Answer:	I can't tell from the package, it's in Japanese. It is dried fish and appears to be salted. I'm guessing that it would last a long time if you keep it dry. I opened my package months ago and I don't notice any difference in the smell. Also, there is a web address on the package, http://www.kaneso22.co.jp/ if that is of any help.
Question:	Does it have to be refrigerated
Answer:	I don't think so. They are salted for at least a year and stacked under weights. Then they become like hard rock, shaved into thin paper-like flakes and bagged with air. Ours kept for a couple months as we sprinkled over rice. I just closed it after rolling most of the air out. My husband became a lover of bonito flakes! Best wishes.
Question:	Is this for takuyaki
Answer:	Yes, you can use it (plus seaweed) to make the Dashi for takuyaki. I use it to make Dashi for my Miso. It creates a great Umami.
Question:	Is this bag resealable? Some do and some don't have a ziploc type seal on them
Answer:	Yes, it is resealable. However, the sealing strip does not always work well, so to prevent having to clean up a flurry of bonito chips I use a bag clip to be certain it stays closed. By the way, my cat loves them!

User questions & answers

Question:	are they gluten free
Answer:	They are dried fish flakes
Question:	How much of the package to make Dashi
Answer:	1 2"x3" piece of dried kombu kelp, 5 c of water in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove the kelp and add an entire 1 oz package of bonito flakes. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat and cover for 15 minutes. Strain stock through cheese cloth.
Question:	Is Eden bonito flakes certified kosher
Answer:	No. I could not find the symbol on the package. It's actually made in Japan.
Question:	Are you certain the fish is mackrel? I have been told that is tuna
Answer:	Tuna used to be called the "Horse Mackrel" in the late 1800s. However, the name caused people not to buy it. The name was changed to "tuna" and the same fish sales exploded to the most known fish today. Mackrel is a smaller tuna essentially and better because mercury does not accumulate in smaller fish to the degree that it does in large fish higher in the food chain.

User questions & answers

Question:	What type of fish is bonito made of
Answer:	Bonito is the name of the fish.
Question:	What are the shelf life of these
Answer:	Long time. Individual packets. So you use a small amount at a time. I love it on rice and raman
Question:	would one pack of these be less than a cup
Answer:	The individual packs inside are small! If I remember correctly, it took almost the whole bag (of packs) to make a cup of Bonito.
Question:	What are the ingredients? Any added msg
Answer:	The ingredients are shaved bonito flakes, no added MSG. Shaved bonito flakes are a natural source of Glutamic acid, more or less MSG without the MonoSodium. MSG is derived from sources like bonito flakes and is a salt form that is an easily distributed form of glutamate. MSG is not evil, per se. It is the added sodium that causes problems. I use these flakes in place of MSG in soups and stews and gravy. They work great for that, but they don't dissolve, so they need to be strained out or put in a tea ball.See the Wikipedia entry for Glutamic acid for better understanding of the topic.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this product smoked
Answer:	no but my cats did not like it and they are not picky eaters
Question:	oz or 4 oz in this bag? Description says 7 oz and thr shipping weifgt is 3.2 oz. So
Answer:	Hi, Julie. It’s 4 oz. I too thought it was 7oz. It is misrepresented by the seller in my opinion. I wrote to Amazon to complain and they ended up refunding my money and telling me to keep the bag. In good conscience I couldn’t keep it so gave it to a friend. It is very misleading. But my cat LOVED it. If you use it as a treat it goes a long way...and it should at about $100/pound!
