Bonito Shuto
Bonito Shuto is made by salting and aging rare parts of skipjack tuna over a long period of time. Taking advantage of this maturation process, Shuto (Japanese anchovies) can be used as a secret ingredient. It is actively used in the cooking scene. If you mix it with cream cheese and spread it on crackers, it will become a light snack. The combination with pizza is excellent. If you add olive oil or butter, it becomes an exquisite sauce that will take the dish to the next level.
