An "Info Broker" who showed up on the News VIP board answers any question thrown at it by silently holding up a scrap of paper with a single word scrawled on it. Trolling questions get shut down with lines like "Cut it out" or "Fakes, begone" — but it also patiently handled a genuinely practical question about how to store mentsuyu (noodle dipping sauce), advising "Use extra-bonito-flavored tsuyu."

You'd think mentsuyu (noodle dipping sauce) would come in one of those soy-sauce-style pour bottles, right? Seriously, 'use within 3 days of opening' is way too hardcore a challenge.
Feel like I've brought this up before, but it's important, so here goes again!!

That kind ends up with awkward leftovers too.
There are these little single-serve packets, but you only ever see them online, and it's not like I'm craving soba 24/7, so it's a pain.
