Any information on the flavor?
I was about to edit this page, as I have always known this product as "Katsuo-boshi" or "dried bonito", rather than the "-bushi" as shown. However, I see from hiragana on Japanese packaging that it is in fact referred to with the two kana "bu-shi". I'm confused! Can anyone shed light on this apparent error?

It is true, but this article is about kasuobushi. The citation conneccted with the statement refers directly to katsuo eaten as sushi. I am going to delete the statement, but I wanted to explain the reasoning here. The aricle on Katsuo is a more appropriate place for the statement and the citation.

I am a little confused by the second paragraph:
Katsuobushi's umami flavor comes from its high inosinic acid content. Traditionally made katsuobushi, known as karebushi, is deliberately planted with fungus (Aspergillus glaucus) in order to reduce moisture.
What exactly is planted with fungus?? If I understand the Katsuobushi is the fish and it's describing the umami flavor as coming from the high acid content and then it says it's planted with fungus. Any way to clarify this?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericbirecki ( talk • contribs) 22:30, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I wish i had a reference for this particular bit of knowledge, if someone has it please help!!
Katsuobushi was an auspicious gift in the days of the samurai because Katsuobushi, when written differently, also mean "victorious samurai" so it was a gift often given to a samurai or his family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MelliSummers ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
"Katsuobushi is made from skipjack tuna and is entirely different from bonito flakes"
This needs a citation, because it is entirely wrong. Even searching Wikipedia for Bonito Flakes takes you to katsuobushi, because they're the exact same thing.
Skipjack tuna is another name for the bonito fish. 96.38.170.171 ( talk) 20:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
