Meet your magic umami maker. Kanei’s katsuobushi are delicately shaved bonito flakes with a gentle smoky aroma and clean, savory depth. Use them to brew a fragrant dashi for miso soup, noodle broths, and simmered dishes, or shower them over okonomiyaki, takoyaki, tofu, and rice for that joyful “dancing” topping moment. 

Why you will love it

Authentic flavor, beautifully light shavings that melt into broths and finish dishes with irresistible umami. 

Versatile staple for dashi, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, chilled tofu, and onigiri seasoning. 

Trusted Japanese maker: Kanei’s “hanakatsuo” style flakes are prized for aroma and depth. Some listings note far-infrared roasting to enhance umami and fragrance. 

How to use

Dashi: Simmer kombu in water, remove, add a generous handful of flakes, steep briefly, then strain. You now have the foundation for miso soup, ramen, udon, and countless sauces. 

Topping: Sprinkle straight from the pack over hot okonomiyaki or takoyaki, or add to tofu and blanched greens.
