Located in Nakiri, Shima City, "Katsuo no Tenpaku" is an established store that continues to preserve the traditional manufacturing method of "Katsuobushi" (dried bonito), which supports the foundation of Japanese food culture. While touring the historic "Ibushi-goya" (smoking hut), you can learn about the aroma and umami of authentic Katsuobushi made with much time and effort. In particular, the experience of having freshly shaved Katsuobushi over freshly cooked rice surprises many international travelers with its ultimate simplicity and deep flavor. It is a precious place where you can experience the essence of Japan's UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage "Washoku" through its aroma and taste.
