Fermented Katsuobushi Shavings - Thin

Made from skipjack tuna that has been poached, smoked, and cycled through a six-month process of fermentation and sun drying, this karebushi katsuobushi from Matoba Suisan is the best there is!

We'd say this is...

We love it!

An umami masterpiece

Just like its sibling, Matoba Suisan's arabushi katsuobushi flakes, these fermented katsuobushi shavings are the perfect building block for the best dashi you've ever tasted. The fermantation process results in a softer, more sophisticated flavor with less smokiness than its non-fermented counterpart.
