Product Description
Japan Bonito Flakes or Katsuboshi 500g | 100g
Katsuobushi is dried, fermented, and smoked skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). It is also known as bonito flakes when young bonito is used as an inexpensive substitute for skipjack tuna. Katsuobushi or similarly prepared fish, is also known as okaka (おかか).
Traditionally, chunks of katsuobushi were shaved as needed with an instrument similar to a wood plane called a katsuobushi kezuriki.

Today katsuobushi is typically sold in bags of small pink-brown shavings, which vary by thickness: smaller, thinner shavings, called hanakatsuo (花鰹), are used as a flavoring and topping for many Japanese dishes, such as okonomiyaki, while the larger thicker, called kezurikatsuo (削り鰹), are favored for making the widely used dashi stock.
In addition to making dashi, other popular uses of katsuobushi include:
Okaka, finely chopped katsuobushi dressed with soy sauce.
As a stuffing for rice balls (onigiri).
As a topping for rice. Popular for bentō, often covered with strips of laver.
Dried okaka is used as an ingredient of furikake rice topping (called "okaka furikake").
As a seasoning for cold tofu (hiyayakko, 冷奴) along with grated ginger and Welsh onion (a type of spring onion).
Sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped laver atop cold soba noodles (zarusoba).
As a topping on takoyaki and okonomiyaki.
As a seasoning on century egg along with sesame oil and soy sauce.
As a high-protein treat for cats sold at pet stores.
