This Japanese Honkarebushi Block from Kagoshima is categorized as a high-grade katsuobushi (dried bonito). Katsuobushi is simmered, smoked bonito fillet which eventually fermented through sun-drying and mold-growing processes. By doing these it contains rich flavor and distinctive umami (savoriness). This katsuobushi produced by hand and for more than 6 months is called honkarebushi.
