Thin-shaved katsuobushi (smoked and dried bonito fish). Great for soups, garnishes, okaka (katsuobushi+soy sauce+rice/don't knock it til you try it).

Ninben has been making katsuobushi (bonito flakes) for over 300 years, starting as a small market stall in the Nihonbashi district of Edo (old Tokyo), Japan. Ninben katsuobushi flakes are produced in the traditional way, from smoked and koji-fermented katsuo (aka Bonito/Skipjack Tuna) fish caught off the Pacific-coast waters of Japan. Ninben stands so readily by the quality of their katsuobushi, that they have opened a small chain of unique "dashi bars" where they serve simple, minimally adorned modern and traditional dashi soups made with Ninben katsuobushi. 

Made in Tokyo, Japan
