Gouda cheese, small tomatoes and bonito flakes in oil
Dutch Gouda cheese is rich in flavor. When combined with the Japanese ingredient "katsuobushi" (dried bonito flakes), the synergistic effect of the umami makes it even more delicious. The key is to mix the whole mixture thoroughly once after soaking. Do not store it for a long time, but eat it up as soon as possible.
