Katsuobushi (Bonito flakes) 500g/6 Kohyo

KATSUOBUSHI is dried bonito fish flakes, 500 g.

Dried and smoked bonito fish is a key ingredient in Japanese "dashi" broth. Along with konbu seaweed, dried shiitake, and anchovies, it forms the "umami" base for miso soup, fish soups, ramen, or sweet tamago dashi omelet. Bonito fish, or striped tuna, inhabits the warm seas and oceans of the subtropical zone. It is widely consumed in East Asia - Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and of course Japan. In the Land of the Rising Sun, it is consumed as sashimi and sushi, but the most common version is the dried, smoked, and fermented one known as Katsuobushi.
