PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a seasoned dried fish flake capable of efficiently and readily producing. SOLUTION: Dried bonito is boiled. The boiled dried bonito is cut in a direction nearly perpendicular to fiber direction by a dried bonito plane having >=4 mm and <=7 mm slit so as to afford having shaved dried bonito flakes having >=20 μm and <=50 μm thickness. The shaved dried bonito flakes are seasoned by adding seasoning solution to the bonito flakes so as to cover the bonito flakes with seasoning solution while stirring the bonito flakes. When seasoned, the flakes are folded or broken without becoming power state even when intertwined with each other by gradual load from the outside due to stirring when seasoned and kept in loosen state without aggregating into mass. The seasoned, shaved and dried bonito flakes are dried e.g. at 60-70 deg.C for 3-5 hr by a drier to provide the objective seasoned dried bonito flakes. The method enable ready and uniform impregnation of seasoning solution in a short time and makes a step for powdering the mass by crushing, cutting, etc., in post- processing unnecessary and can improve productivity and can improve yield in low powering ratio. |
