Okuikaiseido Kuragakoi Rishiri Kombu 150g

Natural Rishiri kelp harvested off Rishiri and Rebun Islands in Hokkaido, then slowly aged for over a year in Okuikaiseido's own storehouse — our "Kuragakoi" cellar-aged kombu. Matured under carefully controlled humidity and temperature, the kelp sheds its briny edge and harsh notes, developing a clear taste and a refined aroma. Its clear, amber-coloured broth, entirely free of cloudiness, is perfect for delicate dishes such as soups and clear broths. Drawing out kombu umami at its finest, it is a prized kelp used even for the dashi of traditional Japanese restaurants (ryotei).
