Hidaka Dried Kombu Seaweed - 50g

Dried kombu is an essential ingredient in Japanese cooking, and we have acquired some of the best that the seas of Japan have to offer. 

Hidaka Kombu is collected in the Hidaka region of Hokkaido and is valued for its flavor profile that compliments a wide variety of dishes, and the fact that even after cooking it retains a nice meaty texture. Unlike other kombu made in factories, this product has been hand-dried in the sun by local fisherman. Because of this, once put into water, this Kombu will expand faster and larger than others.

Because Hidaka Kombu holds its shape through the cooking process better than other types of kombu, it is great for making Kombumaki (Kombu rolled up with fish and vegetables) and Oden(hot pot stews with vegetables and fish cakes).

You may notice a white powder like substance on your kombu, this is called mannitol and is beneficial for the flavor. Do not rinse off!
