Review: Bueno Bonito - I have been looking for bonito for a while. Unfortunately, in the town I live, no Japanese shop. desertcart should have been my first thought. Katsuobushi or Okaka is a dried/fermented variety of tuna which enters into the composition of a kind of dashi (dashi is the base of miso soup or noodles for example, but can be prepared with shiitake or kombu for instance, instead of katsuoboshi) and gives an interesting and unique umami flavour to the delicious Japanese bouillon, due to its glutamic acid. Here a link to a recipe if you want to try it, which I strongly recommend: [...] Enjoy!!!
Review: Never had this before , wow it’s fantastic! - Just trying out Miso soup for the past few months. These flakes are an awesome ingredient. Lots of flavor but not fishy or overwhelming. Very pleased with the individual wrapping too. High quality product!

**Q: What country is this from?**
A: Japan.

**Q: How much water should be used for one packet of flakes?**
A: Should start with small amount of water, like 1 cup. If it's too strong, you can add more water later on. Enjoy cooking.

**Q: Which is this? Katsuobushi (from skipjack tuna) or dried bonito (from young bonito fish)?**
A: In Japan, solid Katsubushi, is smoked bonito, and expensive. Flaked “katsubushi” is a variety of bonitos, even mackerel, combined which is preferred for stronger noodle soups.  Most Japanese use dried baby sardines for miso soup stock.  Flaked katsubusi is used for toppings generally and gives umami flavor.

I used to use this all the time when I was in Japan. Perfect for the rice ball and also put in the salad or something. When you put this in the rice ball, add a little soy sauce. I add this in the meatball, too. It's great!!
