KOCHI SPECIALS

This medium-sized relative of mackerel and tuna is characterized by its ruby-red meat and rich flavor. Bonito flakes, made by repeatedly smoking and drying the flesh, are an essential element of Japanese cooking, adding umami to soups and stocks. A signature dish of Kochi is katsuo tataki: bonito fillets quickly seared over hot flames. Large schools of bonito are brought to Kochi by the warm Kuroshio Current.
