Katsuobushi (かつおぶし), also known as okaka (おかか) is the dried, fermented, and smoked skipjack tuna. Young bonito has a similar color and texture and is sometimes used as a cheaper substitute for skipjack tuna. Katsuobushi’s distinct umami flavor comes from its high inosinic acid content. Shaved Katsuobushi and dried kombu are the main ingredients for makingdashi (Japanese soup stock).
Bonito flakes shaved from well - selected dried bonito. As these bonito flakes are shaved thinly, they can be used for toppings for salad, okonomiyaki and tofu. It is carefully sliced bonito as a thread-like fine cut. Because it is a thread shaving, it goes well particularly with tofu and boiled vegetables. The texture of bonito enhances taste of dishes.
