"Ito" means thread, and "katsuo" means bonito. As the name suggests, Itokatsuo is finely shredded Arabushi — made from smoked bonito harvested and processed in Kagoshima Prefecture. It's a beloved topping that brings movement, aroma, and texture to the plate, leaving a lingering savory note.
Think of it as an umami-rich garnish that works across the board.
