What is Torabushi?
"Katsuobushi Shoyu-bushi," a traditional product from Sotoura, a base for skipjack tuna pole-and-line fishing boats, is a product perfected after many years of refinement by Torashige Hirahara, a famous local skipjack tuna fisherman and member of the Sotoura Fisheries Cooperative. The product name "Tora-bushi" comes from the character "Tora" (tiger) in Mr. Hirahara's name, and "Tora-bushi" is a product that recreates and commercializes the secret recipe.
Fresh bonito landed at the Sotoura Fisheries Cooperative is carefully prepared by hand, with the bones removed, and then simmered in a broth made with sweet soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake, and ginger to allow the flavors to permeate. Because traceability is maintained from raw materials to manufacturing, you can eat it with peace of mind. It is recommended not only as a filling for rice balls, fried rice, ochazuke (rice with tea), and salad topping, but also as a snack.
