About Honkarebushi
Honkarebushi at Ninben refers to dried bonito that has undergone four or more cycles of mold culturing and sun-drying. Starting from arabushi (rough-dried bonito), the process involves repeated rounds of mold culturing and sun-drying over four to six months. The result is a refined dried bonito with a rich, complex aroma and little fishy smell — the same quality found in high-end Japanese restaurants.
