Bonito Shuto
Katsuo (bonito) Shuto is made by salting and aging rare parts of these fish over a long period of time. Taking advantage of this long-term aging process, these ‘Japanese anchovies’ have a deep flavour and can be used as a main ingredient or a secret ingredient in many dishes. It can be used as a simple snack by putting it on cream cheese, a perfect match for pizza, or an exquisite sauce by adding it to olive oil or butter.
