This aromatic and flavorful seafood based dashi is made from katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna that is shaved into thin flakes). The production process for katsuobushi can take several months, with variations based on different regions. First the tuna is cut into fillets which are then simmered for about two hours. Once deboned, the fillets are repeatedly smoked then cooled for about a month until they become extremely hard.
