Ready for Shaving
Dried Bonito
Maybe you have seen dried bonito flakes as a garnish on a cold tofu appetizer or soup? Well, before they become shavings, they look like this. They have the look and strength of horns, but they are in fact miraculously dried pieces of fish meat. You can buy them like this in the open market in Tokyo, or they will send one through a woodchipper-looking machine for you, so you can take home freshly shaved, downy, savory fish flakes by the sack.
