Mitoku Dried Bonito Flakes

Mitoku Dried Bonito Flakes 5 / 5g Packs

Bonito flakes can be boiled to make stock, or sprinkled on food. The fish gives the stock a delicate flavor, and adds to the unique taste of Japanese cuisine. Japanese Cooks insist on the taste and fragrance that only katsuo-bushi can give. Chikaishi Kazuhiko, the head chef at a prestigious Japanese restaurant called Aoyagi, puts it this way: "Dried bonito is the heart and soul of Japanese cuisine." It's difficult to imagine Japanese food without katsuo-bushi. Flakes of bonito add something special to meals every day, all over Japan.
