Kume Island Sea Grapes

Kume Island is known as a production area for sea grapes, a specialty alongside Kuruma prawns. Sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera) are named for their appearance like clusters of grapes. On Kume Island, they are cultivated using deep ocean water pumped from a depth of 600 meters. Because they grow in pure, mineral-rich water, the grains become large and plump, making the popping texture particularly outstanding. The oceanic flavor that bursts in your mouth is incredibly refreshing. The fresher they are, the firmer the grains, making them shine like jewels. Often called 'sea caviar,' sea grapes from Kume Island served with sanbaizu (vinegar sauce) or ponzu are truly exquisite.
