Honkarebushi is the highest-grade of katsuobushi top chefs seek out. After the bonito is smoked, dried, and aged, Honkarebushi goes through multiple mold cycles until the flavor becomes clean and intensely savory. Made exclusively in Makurazaki, Japan, the heart of katsuobushi craftsmanship, these flakes are prized for its consistency and refined flavor. Use honkarebushi flakes to enrich Western stocks, soups, and sauces with clean, savory depth. Infuse it into risotto broth, butter, or pan sauces for a subtle umami lift. Strain into vegetable purées or veloutés to add roundness, or sprinkle over warm dishes for an aromatic finish.
