Premium Hidaka Kombu

This first class, quickly boiled Hidaka Kombu is a bit sweeter than the Rishiri Kombu seaweed. Also known as "mitsuishi kombu". It is soft and very easy to boil, which makes it good for broths and eating. 

It perfectly compliments boiled and seasoned food and can be used for dashi, soups and oden. Boil the strips for a nice dashi broth, and flavor the strips themselves as a delicious, healthy snack full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.  

Japan's Best Kombu Kelp Producer

The company Okui Kaiseido has been established in 1871 and is now run by the fourth generation of the Okui family. The company is located in Tsuruga, which at the time of the establishment was one of the main ports used to trade Kombu kelp from Hokkaido to Osaka and Kyoto. Nowadays, there are very few makers that understand and master this traditional art. Mr. Okui is one of these makers and therefore the Kombu from Okui Kaiseido is well-known and often chosen by famous Japanese chefs.
