Dried Bonito Shaving @ 500g per pack

Bonito is a kind of tuna, and Katsuobushi is dried, smoked bonito. Katsuobushi is often used as flakes shaved from a piece of dried fish. This is actually Kezuribushi, but we still call it Katsuobushi. Some Katsuobushi is only smoked and dried, but the real Katsuobushi is smoked and then ripened with a special kind of mold for months to a couple of years. Katsuobushi is usually sold as flakes or shavings in a package today.

Katsuobushi has a smokey savory taste that is a great accent for many Japanese dishes. Because dried bonito is packed with lot of umami (savory taste), it is perfect for making Dashi (fish broth) with which is a crucial component for Japanese cooking. Katsuobushi also can be used as is, sprinkling on simple vegetables to give a deeper flavor instantly.


Bonito flakes are also marketed as cat treats in the United States, primarily in specialty pet stores.
