Takaokaya Kizami Nori (Dried Seaweed Sliced) - 1oz (Pack of 1)

This was the perfect topping to my new year’s soba. Get a chopstick full of it from the container and plop it on top of the soba then get a bite full and dip into the hontsuru and enjoy. Soba makes for an easy meal and nori or Naruto (or both) make for a perfect topping. This is one oz, but you get a ton of it, they really packed it in. It’s about what I would pay at the Asian market as well, so value is good and it saves me a trip. It’s good for what it is and I grew up eating it, so there’s some nostalgia for me. This isn’t your Korean flavored seaweed. There’s a little stiffness to it, but not as much as the roasted sheets and this isn’t flavored.

I used to busy myself painstakingly cutting up sheets of sushi nori by folding it over by hand and cutting with scissors. No longer! Now I can just open a jar and pull out a handful of kizami nori to add extra flavor and nutritional garnish to my Japanese and Korean food!

I keep this in the pantry because it's more convenient than cutting my own from nori sheets. It's good on poké bowls, zaru soba, etc. I just wish it was a tad bit finer shreds.

Tastes okay, but it is Chinese and not Japanese.

Delicious for all your Japanese dishes!
