ITO-WAKAME Dried seaweed

Wakame seaweed harvested from the nutrient-rich waters of Ise Bay is sun-dried to lock in its flavor, and then carefully hand-threaded for a finished product. Notable for its vibrant color and crisp texture, this wakame is ideal for soups and miso dishes. To use in hot preparations, simply snip it dry with scissors right before taking the pot off the heat; it will rehydrate in about two minutes. For use in vinegary dishes and salads, please rehydrate the wakame beforehand.

伊勢湾の栄養豊富な海で収穫されたワカメを天日干しして旨みを閉じ込め、手作業で丁寧に糸状に割いて仕上げています。色鮮やかでシャキシャキとした食感が特徴で、スープや味噌汁、お吸い物などに使う場合は、鍋を火から下ろす直前にはさみで水気を切れば、2分ほどで元に戻ります。酢の物やサラダに使う場合は、あらかじめ水で戻してからお使いください。
