Hanakatsuo is thin, feather-light shavings of katsuobushi or bonito that has been simmered, smoked, dried and aged for umami. It's the foundation for authentic dashi and one of the most essential building blocks of Japanese cuisine. Light, soft, and delicately smoky, these classic flakes add depth to broths while also elevating dishes as a finishing touch.

2.8 oz. (80g)

Ideal for dashi, seasoning, and garnishing.
