@teleostomi Imagine it depends on how the bitterness is presented. Bitterness alone is often too blunt, but mixed with some things it can be good. Like dark choclate is bitter and sweet, but it's better as a whole for the bitter.
Watching Iron Chef hurts my wallet. If it were a couple hours earlier, I'd be heading to the Japanese restaurant down the street after watching this. Also, the actress guest is incredibly attractive.
bonito, in japan, is skipjack tuna. bonito flake is dried skipjack that's used to make the broth for miso soup. as with many japanese ingredients, it's subtle, not fishy, and pretty darned good.
It's spelled "Bonito". Here in japan it's eaten in various forms; raw, boiled, grilled or whatever. In this video the ingredient used is a dried Bonito, called Katsuo-bushi. It's not only dried but through the work of fungi, Inosinic asid is produced that makes it useful to be used in various Japanese dishes along with shoyu, hoshi-shiitake and konbu. It's difficult as always to explain how it tastes like, but I'd say it's a taste of smoke chip of wood.

I imagine only japanese can appreciate the bitterness of sweet fish's innards.

It's almost like fried bacon cooked with soy sauce - it goes really well with ginger and green onions.
