DRIED SMOKE SHAVED BONITO TUNA FLAKE

Dried smoke-shaved bonito tuna flakes, also known as Katsuobushi, is a popular ingredient used in Japanese cuisine.

It is made by first filleting the bonito fish, then simmering it in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, and mirin before smoking and drying it. The resulting flakes are thin, paper-like sheets with a smoky and savory flavor that can be used to add depth and complexity to various dishes, such as miso soup, okonomiyaki, or takoyaki.

These flakes are also often used to make dashi, a versatile and essential stock used in many Japanese dishes.
