Information

• Producer's Story: Founded in 1903 in Shiga Prefecture as a rice and dry goods merchant, Uneno's second generation moved to Kyoto and devoted themselves to katsuobushi processing, earning the trust of the city's temples and shrines. The maguro powder represents a particular refinement: tuna bonito processed to remove the blood line (chi-ai), eliminating any bitterness and leaving only the clean, mellow umami that Kyoto's temple kitchens prize above all else. A product almost unknown outside Japan — until now.
• Tasting Profile: Mellow and light with an aristocratic softness — less assertive than katsuobushi, with a clean finish that dissipates gently. Where katsuobushi announces itself boldly, maguro whispers. Ideal for dishes where subtlety matters more than intensity.
• Pairing Suggestions: The ideal finishing powder for chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and clear soups. Sprinkle over carpaccio or crudo for a Japanese-inflected finish. Stir into light vinaigrettes or yogurt-based dressings. Dust over steamed vegetables or cold tofu. Mix into cream sauces for quiet depth.
