Dried Wakame

Description

This dried wakame is produced by Yamashita Shoten, located in Itoshima (north coast of Kyūshū Island). Specializing in seafood products, the company selects only the best and relies on its relationships with local fishermen.

The Sea of Japan is rich in edible seaweed; over a hundred varieties can be collected from its shores, and wakame, a tender brown seaweed, is among the most popular (and the most consumed in the world).

The flavor is dominated by a marine sweetness reminiscent of oysters, with just the right amount of salt to act as a natural enhancer.

Use:

Seaweed is all the rage, and for good reason: rich in proteins, vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, it’s excellent for your health, as well as being original and delicious… if you learn how to prepare it.

Dried wakame is used, rehydrated and seasoned, as an accompaniment to salads, pickled vegetables and soups (miso soup, of course!). It adds just the right amount of iodized freshness to your dishes. Wakame can also be enjoyed by itself with a slightly spicy sauce.

Be careful: the seaweed expands up to eight times when rehydrated.
