Everytime I have had this it has had an expiration date somewhere on the bottle — but generally I would imagine you’d be okay for a year? It is mostly dashi stock and soy sauce, right?

Forever? God, I hope forever, I’ve got one from last year in my fridge.

Most things that are soy based, indefinitely. The flavor might deteriorate but it won’t spoil.

up to 2 years? (my own rule🤭) but the old one lose flavor. So try to use it sooner. Eat lots of noodles, you can consume a bottle easily within several months.

I’m still using one which has expired for a month or two. So it’s ok

I’d give it a year or so.
I have opened soup bases in the garage which gets over 35C in summer and they are still fine after 3 years.
I go by taste a lot and I have a very good sense of taste and smell.

Kind of seems like a criminal waste of money. 99.9% of that would just be water that could just as easily come from your tap.

I love that brand of Shiro dashi. It’s usually good for one year from date of opening. Since the salt content is so high, it’s generally not prone to spoilage as long as you don’t contaminate the inside.

Always good to give it a good whiff before using it though.

I generally use a big bottle within a year, it’s never been gross by that point. It’s mostly salt, not a ton of organics in it, I wouldn’t worry about it from a food safety perspective.

My bottle from our nearby market says to use it within 7 days of opening…? How is everyone saying 1+ years?
