It's an item I always keep stocked at home. It's a bit salty on its own, so it's fine if you mix it with water in a ratio of about 1:2. I almost always use it when eating tteokguk (rice cake soup).

I bought it because of the good reviews, but I'm so disappointed because it's too salty, has a strong fishy smell, and the ingredients are poor. This is the worst product I've ever purchased. It's not cheap, so I'm writing this because I'm so upset.
