Review: Bonito flakes - Beautiful added to Asian style stocks and soup base along with kelp to make a more natural flavour with loads of depth. I also soak it in some saki and seasoned soy sauce and have it as a topping on plain cooked rice. It's so nice. My cat also loves it. A little goes a long way so great value for money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bonito Flakes fish for good meal
*by F***. on 24 March 2026*

So soo happy with the Wadakyu Katsuobushi Bonito Fkakes taste so good with vegetables or just stemmed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice, but it's the only brand I've tried so, who knows, there could be even better- or much worse!
*by F***E on 24 August 2015*

These are good; I got there in the end, but spent quite a long time scooping out stringy bits, to strain the seaweed/pasta that had been cooked with it and save it for stock (as it suggests). In the end, I put in less and just left it in: no-one died or asked what the stringy bits were, and it all tasted lovely- if I do say so myself....
