Description
They’re the thin curly shavings that dance in the heat of the steam when your takoyaki or okonomiyaki is served. We call them bonito flakes; the Japanese name is katsuobushi. They’re shaved dried fish, an ingredient for making dashi.Katsuobushi-topped okonomiyaki
We’ve been buying and using bonito flakes at home for over a decade. When it started appearing in groceries and supermarkets (Japanese groceries were not the norm here ten years ago), only one brand was available. Big pack or small pack, the content is the same. Ultra thin shavings of pink dried fish. And that led me to think that all bonito flakes are created equal.
