Long Hijiki Seaweed from Kyushu, with crunchiness and the aroma of the sea.
From harvest to production, this is 100% made in Kyushu area of Japan. Grown in the ocean surrounding Japan, seaweed is a fantastic source of minerals. Hijiki is a traditional ingredient in Japanese cooking and its flavour and crunchiness change depending on the processing method or the harvesting season. It is said that up to 80% of hijiki produced in Japan is from Ise area, but there are good quality seaweeds in the Kyushu area as well! Its distinctive texture and flavour suits dishes that are simmered or vinegared.

Put hijiki seaweed in a bowl, and pour plenty of water over it. Stir lightly, scoop it up by hand and throw the remaining water and small pieces of hijiki away. Repeat this process two times or more, then leave it in clean water for 30-60 minutes until it reaches the texture you prefer. Cut it into lengths you like before use. It can be softened in hot water if you are in hurry.
