Satori Dashi (Hon-Kare Katsuobushi) (10g packet x 5)

Refined Golden Dashi from Premium Hon-kare Katsuobushi

This premium dashi pack is made exclusively from high-grade bonito weighing over 4.5kg, caught and processed in Makurazaki, Kagoshima. The fish is transformed into Hon-kare katsuobushi—a highly prized form of dried bonito—through repeated mold application and sun-drying. This process reduces moisture, enhances umami, and removes excess fat, resulting in a crystal-clear, golden dashi with a deep aroma and a clean, concentrated bonito flavor.

What is Hon-kare Katsuobushi?

Hon-kare katsuobushi is the highest-grade katsuobushi, produced through a time-intensive aging process. Starting with arabushi (boiled and dried bonito), the surface is carefully shaved to remove tar and fats. Then, katsuobushi-kōji-mold is applied and the fish is sun-dried repeatedly—typically four or more times. This not only eliminates fishy odors and bitterness but also concentrates natural umami and imparts a refined, elegant aroma, making it a cornerstone of high-quality Japanese cuisine.

“No Chemical Seasonings or Preservatives Added”

This product brings out the natural umami of its ingredients through scientific analysis and the refined skills of seasoned experts—without relying on any chemical seasonings or preservatives.

Using ON THE UMAMI’s proprietary technology, the natural variation found in ingredients is refined into a stable, consistent taste—so you can enjoy the same delicious flavor every day without getting tired of it.
