Katsuobushi

CategoryItem

Namaribushi dried rock-hard; shave it before eating.

Obtaining

Usage

Shave it first

Far too hard to bite. Shave it by crafting into kezuribushi before it reaches the table — the hardness is what lets it sit in the storehouse indefinitely.

As an ingredient

Behavior

Simmered, then dried

It cannot be made from a raw fillet. Simmer it into namaribushi first, then move it to the rack. That simmering is what separates katsuobushi from ordinary dried fish.

The long cure

It cures far longer on the rack than ordinary himono — pick a stretch of clear days and be patient.
