Knotted kombu seaweed ⋅ Okui Kaiseido ⋅ 10g

Knotted vinegar kombu (makonbu) is a premium artisanal product from Okui Kaiseido, a renowned Japanese producer. Kombu is a nutrient-rich edible seaweed. The knotted vinegar process uses rice vinegar and salt to create a unique, flavorful taste. Knotted vinegar kombu can be added to rice dishes, noodles, soups and vegetables to add a distinctive umami flavor. The knotting process also adds a pleasant crunchy texture to kombu, making it a popular garnish for sushi dishes. The knot is made by soaking kombu in vinegar water, which is then softened and cut into thin strips, and finally tied into a single knot and dried in the sun.
