Chloe T. ★★★★★

I've been swapping these flakes into my miso soup and even a slow-braised pork dish, and the flavor is deep and briny without being fishy. The flakes are a little coarse, which actually makes them easier to handle than the powdered stuff I used to buy.

Abigail ★★★★★

The coarse texture is perfect for sprinkling straight over a bowl of rice or soups, and it softens up quickly in broths. I've been using it in place of kombu for dashi and the flavor is genuinely rich and oceanic. This bulk bag will last me months.

Leo L. ★★★★★

I swapped in these flakes for regular kombu in my miso soup and the broth got this nice, subtle ocean sweetness from the start. the flakes are coarse enough that I don't have to crush them first, which saves me a step.
