Description
Katsuobushi Bonito Tuna Flakes - 40 g
Katsuobushi is a classic Japanese ingredient made from dried and smoked bonito, a type of tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). The product comes as very thin, light flakes that are central to traditional Japanese food culture and are used daily in professional as well as private kitchens. The flakes form the cornerstone of the Japanese soup stock called dashi, which is the base for miso soup, ramen, and a wide range of other Asian dishes. In addition to being used in broths and stocks, katsuobushi can be sprinkled directly over hot dishes such as okonomiyaki, rice dishes, noodles, and salads, where the heat from the food makes the thin flakes move and create a characteristic visual effect. The taste is deep, smoky, and salty with a distinct umami character that enriches and elevates even simple dishes to a new level. The texture is light and crispy, and the flakes partially dissolve in hot liquids, where they release their full flavor intensity. The product contains only skipjack bonito without additives, making it a natural and pure flavor product with a high protein content of over 80 g per 100 g. The packaging is a sealed 40g bag, suitable for home use and easy to store. The bag should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, and after opening, it should be carefully sealed and refrigerated. The content is recommended to be used within seven days after opening to preserve freshness and flavor intensity. The product is labeled as halal and without artificial additives. It is an ideal choice for food enthusiasts who want to explore authentic Japanese cuisine at home and is suitable for anyone looking for a natural umami source for everyday dishes. Katsuobushi is an indispensable ingredient for dashi broth, Japanese soup stock, Asian noodle dishes, and as a topping for sushi and stir-fries.
