An essential ingredient for making umami rich dashi stock, the foundation of many Japanese dishes. Also used as a topping for salads or tofu.

Katsuobushi, or dried bonito flakes, is one of the essential ingredients for making Japanese soup stock called "dashi". Consisting of paper-thin shavings of dried and smoked bonito which resemble large wood shavings, Yutaka Katsuobushi uses fresh, high quality bonito from Spain, carefully put through a long drying process and sealed to lock in the flavour. When used in dashi, Katsuobushi adds depth of flavour and umami to soups, hot pots and stews. It is also used to garnish tofu, udon noodles and salads. Infuse rich umami flavour "fifth taste" & make your Japanese cooking special!
