BONITO FLAKES KATSUOBUSHI STANDARD (500GR)

Katsuobushi is a cornerstone of traditional Japanese cuisine. It is made from skipjack tuna that has been filleted, simmered, smoke-dried up to 15 times, and often aged with a beneficial culture through a multi-month fermentation process. This turns the fish fillets into rock-hard blocks which are then shaved into paper-thin, smoky, savory petals. The smoking lasts two to three weeks, depending on the size of the fish. These shaved bonito flakes have a thickness of 0.1mm or less. Use these flakes to make dashi soup stock or sprinkle onto okonomiyaki or takoyaki. Packed in a protective atmosphere for freshness.
