Three regions account for most production: Yaizu (Shizuoka) — the largest skipjack landing port in Japan and the center for industrial katsuobushi extract; Makurazaki (Kagoshima) — the historical home of arabushi / honkarebushi premium grades; and the Kishū area (Wakayama). Yaizu and Makurazaki together cover the great majority of national production.

The major Yaizu and Makurazaki extract houses (e.g., specialist seasoning manufacturers and trading-house affiliates) regularly export to Asia, North America, and Europe and can issue English specifications, COAs, and labels. Smaller traditional katsuobushi-makers usually require an export trading partner. Lead time and MOQ negotiation are normally easier when routed through an established trading house.
