premium-quality dried and smoked skipjack tuna flakes, traditionally produced to offer the authentic umami flavour essential in Japanese cuisine. Made from 100% skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), the fish is carefully smoked over beech and alder wood, creating delicate, aromatic flakes with a rich, savoury taste.
