Great product

Thanks for the review, Annemarie! Marutomo Hondashi is a real Japanese kitchen workhorse, that concentrated bonito base builds instant umami depth into miso soup, udon broths, and simmered dishes with just a spoonful.

Did not realise it was granules when I purchased it but nevetheless good product

Yes — Hondashi is indeed in granule form, perfect for dissolving quickly into soups and sauces. We’re happy to hear you still enjoyed the product!

Should have bought even more

I should’ve bought more. I use Hondashi every day now — it makes everything taste like I actually tried. A pinch in soup, eggs, noodles... even lazy meals hit different. This stuff is magic in a jar. Honestly, I feel a little betrayed no one told me sooner.

We’re so glad you discovered the magic of Hondashi! It really does have that “effortless chef” effect!

A really great flavour for any dashi style stock. A small amount goes a long way. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Grant! We're glad you’re enjoying the Marutomo Hondashi. It’s a fantastic way to add authentic umami depth to soups, broths, and even stir-fries. Appreciate the recommendation!

Extremely flavourful

Just two teaspoons is more than enough for a miso soup. Fragrant, packs a punch and is delicious.

Is this liquid or powder? And once opened how long can it stay open for?

HelloAsia!

It's powder. Once opened, it should be stored in a cool, dry place and tightly sealed. For best quality, it's recommended to use it within 3 to 6 months. However, if moisture or humidity gets in, it may clump or lose flavor sooner.
