How the World's Hardest Food Is Made: Traditional Japanese Dried Bonito, Katsuobushi

How katsuobushi -- Japanese dried bonito, said to be the world's hardest food -- is made in Nishi-Izu, Japan. Inside Kanesa Katsuobushi Shoten, a workshop founded in 1882, 5th-generation craftsman Yasuhisa Serizawa still uses the 200-year-old "tebiyama" hand-fired smoke-drying method that only a few workshops in Japan preserve. Watch fresh bonito being filleted and boiled for 90 minutes, smoke-dried more than 10 times over a hand-tended wood fire, repaired with bonito paste, fermented with koji mold and sun-dried for months -- over half a year until the fish becomes as hard as wood and shines like a jewel. From fresh catch to katsuobushi. ⬇︎Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz7LrNt_1IwEA56mga66zRg?sub_confirmation=1 Kanesa Katsuobushi Shoten (Nishi-Izu, Shizuoka) MAP→https://maps.app.goo.gl/C1q3p8Z6eSApZeYp6 WEB→https://www.canesa.net/ Instagram→https://www.instagram.com/kanesa168 Japanese Restaurant Ajimasa MAP→https://maps.app.goo.gl/FTq7DoVcA5vuNGNR6 00:00 Intro 00:21 Yaizu Port -- Frozen Bonito 01:41 Thawing the Bonito in Water 02:13 Filleting the Bonito 05:02 Special Knives for Processing Bonito 05:21 Boiling the Bonito 07:18 Removing the Bones by Hand 08:04 Smoking the Bonito to Dry It 11:41 Japanese Noodles with Bonito Dashi 13:49 Wasabi Rice Bowl 14:35 Repairing Cracks with Bonito Paste 16:02 Sun-Drying 17:36 How to Shave Katsuobushi ↓Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/Cm73jKAf4u ↓Please support our channel by joining our membership! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz7LrNt_1IwEA56mga66zRg/join ↓The process of the Japanese Products channel is here! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChzbJzVd453Kwsp04RXuhFw?sub_confirmation=1 ↓Our travel channel is here! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTBYZxS4p-RnMcihOJUWMng?sub_confirmation=1 We want to share the charm of Japan through Japanese food videos.
