Okyuto
A simple oval shape made just by solidified seaweed. This is 'Okyuto,' a traditional food that has supported the mornings of Hakata. Made by boiling and then cooling seaweed called egonori, its history is long; it even appeared in the Edo-period 'Chikuzen Kokusan Bucho' under the name 'Ukeuto.' It is said that in the past, the voices of 'Okyette sellers' would echo through the streets of Hakata from dawn. It has been cherished as a breakfast staple to that extent. With a smooth texture similar to tokoroten, it is enjoyed topped with soy sauce, ponzu, or ground sesame seeds. Its refreshing mouthfeel glides down the throat even during busy mornings. It is a simple and warm flavor that has quietly taken root in the Hakata dining table.
