Located in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, Okui Kaiseido has been specializing in exceptional kombu since 1871. Founded in a former port that was a key trading hub for kombu between Hokkaido and Kansai, the company has cultivated expertise passed down through four generations. It selects the best seaweeds the coasts of Rishiri and Rebun, which it slowly matures in its own warehouses to reveal its full depth, giving rise to its flagship product: "kuragakoi kombu, " or refined kombu. As a supplier to Zen temples such as Eiheiji and leading Japanese and international restaurants, Okui Kaiseido continues a demanding artisanal tradition, while conveying a powerful message: nourishing the body and mind through food rooted in Japanese culture.
