"Ume no Hana" Roasted Nori Seaweed Sheets, 5 Sheets

Yamamoto Noriten Ume no Hana roasted nori brings authentic Japanese culinary tradition straight to your table. This package contains five sheets of roasted seaweed, harvested in Japan during the cold winter months when water temperatures drop and the seaweed reaches its peak quality. Each sheet melts smoothly on the tongue, offering a crisp texture and a rich, savory umami flavor that is best enjoyed plain, without any added seasonings.

Yamamoto Noriten is one of Japan's most celebrated seaweed specialists, and Ume no Hana has been its signature, long-selling gift for half a century. Skilled inspectors at the brand's Saga factory, close to the sea, carefully grade the winter harvest, choosing only the top tier based on melt, taste, and texture. Skilled artisans then judge the ideal temperature and timing before slowly baking the seaweed to bring out its full umami and the scent of the sea. The name Ume no Hana, meaning plum blossom, recalls the early days of Yamamoto Noriten, when the finest Edo-style nori was gathered in the depths of winter, a season carried on the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Opening the package releases the fresh scent of freshly toasted nori, as if it just came off the fire. It is an easy way to bring high grade Japanese food craft to your own table, or to share as a thoughtful gift. The total weight of the item, including its container, is 0.05 kg.
