A light-textured kombu seaweed made by an artisan in the town of Tsuruga, in the Fukui prefecture. The kombu seaweed is grated by hand and then marinated in vinegar, creating a cloudy texture that retains all the kombu seaweed's umami.
Oboro kombu is a highly versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes: whether in miso soup to add texture and intensify flavor, or on onigiri in place of nori seaweed leaves. Its filaments can also be added to udon or cold soba.
Once chopped or powdered, this partially water-soluble seaweed acts as a natural thickener, thanks to the alginate it contains and its high fiber content. This makes it a very useful ingredient for thickening sauces or preparing condiments such as vegetable puree or miso paste. You can also mix it with mayonnaise to accompany fish, or incorporate it into meatballs.
