Naruto Wakame – hand-harvested seaweed with authentic Japanese character
Wakame is the most widely used seaweed in Japan and holds a firm place in Japanese gastronomy. This variety comes from the Naruto region, which is famous for its strong ocean currents. The powerful waves contribute to the wakame’s dense structure, crispness, and high quality.
The harvest is carried out manually, and each plant is carefully selected to ensure optimal texture and flavor. After harvesting, the seaweed is blanched and preserved in brine, where the salt protects its natural aromas and highlights a delicate umami character. The result is a wakame with a fresh iodine scent, a crisp texture, and an elegant, elastic bite.
Use:
- Rinse the seaweed thoroughly in cold water and squeeze out the liquid by hand
- Repeat the process five times to remove excess salt
- Use in soups, salads, omelet, pasta, or as a topping on pizza
- Combine with citrus juice or vinaigrette for a fresh and light serving
Naruto wakame is a versatile ingredient that adds depth and complexity to both hot and cold dishes. It brings a natural umami and iodine-rich flavor that balances well with fresh vegetables, fish, and shellfish.
Storage:
- Store cool, preferably in the refrigerator
- Once desalted, it can keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator
- Store the remaining amount in the bag and return to the refrigerator after opening
A classic Japanese ingredient with clear terroir and artisanal processing – an ideal choice for professional kitchens seeking authentic flavor and texture.
