Yamako Katsuobushi Katsuo Bonito Chips for Japanese Broth Dashi, 40g, Made in Japan

Katsuobushi** is dried, fermented and smoked real bonito (or tuna) cut into thin strips. It is a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and known for its intense umami taste and smoky aroma. It is a key ingredient in making **Dashi**, a base broth that adds depth and umami to many Japanese dishes such as soups, sauces and stews. Dashi from Katsuobushi is known for its clear and rich taste. Katsuobushi flakes** can be used as a topping on various dishes such as okonomiyaki (salty pancakes), takoyaki (octopus balls) and tofu to add an explosion of umami and a subtle smoky note. It can also be incorporated into **seasoning and toppings** of onigiri (rice balls), mixed into salads to give the umami a kick, or used in furikake (a Japanese dry seasoning) sprinkled over the rice to increase the flavor profile of the dish.
