Yamaki Bonito Flakes "Hana-Katsuo" 2.82 oz

The Yamaki Bonito Flakes "Hana-Katsuo" are a high-quality product that comes in a 2.82 oz pack. Customers praise the product for its freshness and high quality, using it to make dashi stock for the week. Some customers also use it as a treat for their cats instead of commercially available cat treats. However, one customer notes that the flakes are made from cheap skipjack and tend to be high in mercury. Others complain that the bag was only 1/4 full and did not like the product at all. The product should be refrigerated after opening for optimum freshness. The flakes are not smoky and can be eaten directly without cooking. **

Can be used to make dashi stock
Can be used as a healthy treat for pets
Ready-to-eat, no cooking required

Cons

Made from cheap skipjack and may be high in mercury
