Broth

Broth is, in fact, the essence of Japanese cuisine.
Our broth is made from katsuobushi (simmered, smoked and fermented skipjack tuna) from Kagoshima and premium kelp from Hokkaido provided directly by the respective producers.
The katsuobushi is processed and shaved right before we make our broth so as to lock up the fragrance.
