KATSUBAKO IRORIBATA UMAMI

This is a dried bonito shaving plane with Fujihide Blade.

This product's plane blade features Fujihide Bonito Plane Blade renowned for their exceptional sharpness.
It is known for its gentle, smooth shaving feel.

The outer box is crafted from Japanese ash wood, while the shaving base is made from oak wood, making it a genuine shaver.

Thin shavings of dried bonito perfectly complement various dishes like agedashi-tofu, takoyaki, and okonomiyaki.
They are also ideal for making bonito broth.
Dried bonito flakes and dried bonito powder are recommended as natural furikake seasoning—sprinkle them over rice, add to miso soup or ochazuke, and enjoy a significant boost in flavor.

Dried bonito come in two types: Obushi (back side) and Mebushi (belly side).
Obushi have a stable flavor and are easier to shave.
Mebushi, made from the belly, contain more oil and tend to crumble into powder when shaved.
