Product Overview
Experience the rich flavors of authentic Japanese cuisine with our PierMall Cooking Bonito Flakes, packaged in a convenient 3.3-ounce (100 gram) bag. Known as katsobushi, these finely shaved flakes are derived from the dark, oily bonito fish, which is an essential ingredient in Japanese culinary traditions. While rarely served as a main dish, bonito plays a crucial role in enhancing the taste of various dishes through its unique umami flavor.
Transform Your Cooking
The strong, clean fish flavor of katsobushi makes it an exceptional seasoning for a variety of dishes. When combined with kombu seaweed, it forms dashi, the fundamental stock used in most Japanese soups and broths. This versatile ingredient not only enhances the taste of miso soup but also elevates the flavor profiles of stews, sauces, and marinades. Use these flavorful flakes to season wakame seaweed salads, chilled tofu, or sprinkle them over steamed or sautéed vegetables for a delicious umami kick.
