Freshly Shaved
Before dawn breaks over Tokyo’s
Tsukiji district, steam rises gently from
our chimney into the morning air.
At Katsuobushi Matsumura, we’ve never
wavered from our commitment to
freshness.
From the sourcing of raw fish to the
angle of the blade, there is no room for compromise.
The bonito we shave is short-lived—but
intensely flavorful.
Its vibrant aroma evokes the spirit of the
old Edo townsfolk—bold, refined, and
fleeting.
We invite you to experience the depth of
flavor that only freshly shaved katsuobushi can offer.
