Imabetsu Mozuku

In Imabetsu, nurtured by the pristine waters of the Tsugaru Strait, you will find crunchy mozuku. Natural mozuku harvested from the seas of Imabetsu town on the Tsugaru Peninsula—the northernmost part of Honshu—is characterized by its thickness and excellent bite. Growing in the rough strait where intense currents flow, it offers a robust elasticity and texture. You can feel a wild strength that is distinctly different from farmed varieties. When prepared as a vinegared dish, it is refreshing; when added to miso soup or soup, it provides a smooth, slippery texture. Rich in marine minerals, it is an ingredient that is good for your health. This is a seafood delicacy unique to Imabetsu, allowing you to taste the bounty of the strait directly. Its light and refreshing mouthfeel is a welcome presence even on days when you have little appetite.
