  Katsuobushi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katsuobushi is the main ingredient in dashi, a broth that forms the basis of many soups (such as miso soup) and sauces (e.g., soba no tsukejiru) in Japanese cuisine.
Traditionally large chunks of katsuobushi were kept at hand and shaved when needed with an instrument similar to a plane turned upside down, but in the desire for convenience this form of the food has nearly disappeared.
Katsuobushi was the inspiration for the title of the John Lennon album Shaved Fish.

Katsuobushi is one of the basic flavors of Japanese cooking, and is used to make the stock that plays an important supporting role in daily cooking.
Classic broth for clear soups (suimono) is made by boiling a strip of dried kelp and a quantity of katsuobushi flakes.
This same stock is an important ingredient, along with sake, soy sauce and mirin, in simmering vegetables and other dried foods, as well as in the dipping sauces for various kinds of Japanese-style noodles.

 Katsuobushi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Katsuobushi (鰹節) is the Japanese name for a preparation of dried and smoked bonito (skipjack tuna).
It is today typically found in bags of small pink-brown shavings, looking somewhat like cedar shavings used for caged pet litter, or the shavings of a plain wooden pencil.
Popular uses of katsuobushi include stuffing for rice balls (onigiri), seasoning for cold tofu along with grated ginger and green onions, topping for rice (called furikake), and sprinkling with sesame seeds and chopped nori atop cold soba noodles (zarusoba), as well as its primary use in dashi and other prepared foods.

 Cookbook:Onigiri - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Common fillings include umeboshi (Japanese pickled plum); katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) moistened in soy sauce; cooked, salted salmon; salmon roe; and "seachicken" (canned tuna) with mayonnaise.
A creative variation is a yaki-onigiri in a bowl of dashi garnished with chopped leek and katsuobushi.
Katsuobushi: take a deciliter or so of the flakes, and pour a little soy sauce over it - it is very easy to pour too much, so be careful.

 Ponzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commercially available ponzu is generally sold in glass bottles, which may have some sediment at the bottom.
Ponzu is made by boiling mirin, rice vinegar, katsuobushi flakes, and seaweed (konbu) over medium heat.
When cool the liquid is strained to remove the katsuobushi flakes and the juice of one or more of the following: yuzu, sudachi, daidai, and kabosu (Japanese citrus fruits), and sometimes also lemon, is added.
