Hijiki from Akehama
The hijiki grown in the Uwa Sea of Akehama-cho, Seiyo City, is a seaweed characterized by its abundant ocean aroma and thick, meaty texture. Growing in pristine waters, this hijiki accumulates plenty of minerals. After harvesting, the hijiki is simmered over a wood fire and then slowly sun-dried under the sun to finish. This meticulous drying process creates a plump texture and softness when rehydrated in water. The flavor is supported by simple yet careful craftsmanship. When used in simmered dishes, the umami soaks in deeply, and when added to salads, it provides a delightful textural accent. Please enjoy the bounty of the Uwa Sea with Akehama's hijiki at your daily dining table.
