Shimanto Blue Seaweed (Aonori)
Sprinkle a pinch over freshly cooked rice, and a soft, green fragrance rises into the air. Floating it in miso soup allows the purity of the river to drift through your senses along with the steam. This is the natural suji-aonori nurtured by the Shimanto River, the 'last clear stream.' In the cold waters of winter, fishermen enter the river to hand-pick the wild seaweed growing from the riverbed, then dry it under the sun. This delicate, thread-like natural seaweed melts softly on the tongue, with an intensity of aroma said to overwhelm seaweed from any other region. It is exceptional when mixed into tempura batter or sprinkled over okonomiyaki and rolled omelets. When scattered over cold udon noodles, its fragrance truly stands out. We invite you to bring a pinch of this clear stream's essence to your dining table.
