KATSUO-BUSHI
documentary 25min
Traditional Japanese cuisine “Washoku" was officially recognized as a UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013.
However, the circumstances surrounding modern Japanese cuisine are undergoing
drastic changes today.These ripples of changes are affecting the people who make and use “Katsuo-Bushi”
Bonito flakes, the foundation of Japanese cuisine, and with this the taste of Japanese
Cuisine is inevitably changing.
Amidst the turning tides of the food culture, there are so many people investing their
time and craft into bringing Katsuo-Bushi to the consumer’s tables. From the craftsmen
who continue to take the traditional route of Katsuo-Bushi making, the Katsuo-Bushi
graders who sort through the products everyday feeling the shift in its qualities, the
fishermen who lament what little they can leave behind for the next generation, the
chefs who create Michelin 2 star dishes bringing the Katsuo-Bushi directly to the
consumers.
Through the world’s tiniest Katsuo-Bushi manufacturer’s craftsmanship, and his efforts
to conserve tradition whilst adapting to the changing surroundings, we explore the
question of what is sustainable food culture.
