Premium Katsuobushi Bonito Flakes – 500 g
Katsuobushi is one of the foundations of Japanese cuisine, made from dried, smoked and fermented skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). Rich in natural umami (inosinate), it is the essential ingredient for preparing authentic dashi stock.
This premium quality katsuobushi contains only the purest part of the fish – free from the darker dorsal bloodline, resulting in a clean, elegant flavour without bitterness or iron notes.
Ideal for Japanese restaurants, ramen chefs, fine dining kitchens and authentic Asian cuisine lovers.
