Bonito flakes – Katsuobushi
From 13,15 €
Katsuobushi – Bonito flakes from Japan
Katsuobushi, also known as bonito flakes, is a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine. They are made from bonito tuna, which is first boiled, smoked, and dried until the fish takes on a hard, almost wood-like consistency. It is then shaved into thin flakes that are rich in umami and aroma.
Characteristics
- Intense umami flavor with smoky and complex notes
- Traditionally made from smoked and dried bonito tuna
- Light, paper-thin texture that dissolves quickly in hot dishes
Use
Katsuobushi is mainly used to make dashi – the classic Japanese broth that forms the foundation of many dishes. The flakes can also be sprinkled directly over rice, tofu, vegetables, or noodles, where they dance lightly in the heat and add an extra dimension of flavor.
