470ml - Bonito Flake Hana Katsuo

I originally looked into these flakes to make dashi broth, but quickly realized they make excellent kitty treats as well! Any product that has multiple uses is a win for me and these flakes are great. I underestimated how large the 1lb bag would be, but it will last quite some time and is resealable. The flakes arrived in great shape and there is little to no “dust” or unusable crumbles (there is no such thing as unusable crumbles if you have kitties). My cats are spoiled rotten and only like freeze-dried fish treats which can be expensive in tiny quantities. This is a wonderful and economical alternative. While the only ingredient is skipjack tuna, be mindful of the natural sodium in the flakes especially if feeding to cats. Also, be sure to store the bag in a cat-safe area/alternate container or they will try to chew through the bag like the greedy little furballs they are.

My cats love this as much as I do!! Many cat food purveyors sell the exact same product at HUGE mark ups. Cat tax ;) This is even higher quality and I use it for my Dashi Broths as well.

Delicious for dashi and a great price for a huge bag!!

I love watching the Bonito flakes dance on my okonomiyaki! Oishi desu!

Update to review: 8/21/20 Originally only one cat would eat these, but now all four of them readily eat the flakes. I'm happy because these cost so much less that the others I was buying. I've increased the rating to 4 from 3 stars because the strong smokey smell kind of bothers me as I worry about the salt content. _______________________________ I bought this brand as the 16 oz. size and price is much better than the other bonito flakes I was buying. My cats eat it albeit only one actually seems to like it. The other two only eat a few flakes and leave the rest. As another reviewer mentioned, it might be due to the strong smoky smell. Whatever the reason is I'll stick to Kaneso Tokuyou Hanakatsuo Dried Bonito Flakes even though they cost much more but those flakes my cats gobble up.
