What's NORI

Nori seaweed

Nori seaweed has long been a beloved item on everyday Japanese tables.
We simply serve it on the plain rice or use it for sushi rolls.

Three things to consider when selecting good quality nori;
– good aroma,
– crispy texture,
– dark black color.

The process for making high quality nori starts by selecting superior ingredients.

We still follow the traditional secret method of toasting high quality nori that our family has passed from generation to generation.

Origin of taste

Nori includes a lot of Umami (a rich taste referred as the 5th taste) similar to konbu (dried kelp) and dried bonito (dried skipjack tuna).

You can enjoy nori simply as it is without adding anything to it.

In order to bring out more Umami, we toast the nori . By doing this, you can enjoy the aroma and rich taste of nori.
