Thank you very much. 130g - 910 yen 260g - 1620 yen Shipping discount: 200 yen Name: Ikanodai Special Grade Hama Kelp Contents: 260g Length: 26cm Price: 1620 yen * There are kelp grades for Hidaka kelp (see the image for the grade). Kelp industry professionals and locals consider Ikanodai kelp to be the best in both taste and price, but it seems that it is still not well-known to people nationwide. Just as rice tastes different depending on the region, the taste is significantly different from other Hidaka kelp. We have made it affordable, so please try it once. * You can tell the quality of kelp by looking at the root kelp. The width, luster, and thickness are the key factors. * Hidaka kelp (root kelp) is like a tree in a forest; when it receives a lot of sunlight, the leaves spread out, increasing the width, thickness, and luster, and the nutrients increase. However, in dense areas, the leaves are thin and narrow, and they become elongated as they try to reach for sunlight. Having a wide width, thickness, and luster are the conditions for good kelp. * For those who are particular about kelp, we recommend the offering kelp, and for those who are not, we recommend this slightly thinner special grade Hama kelp. * Rishiri, Rausu, and Makonbu kelp do not cloud the broth, so they look good and are favored by high-end restaurants, but they seem to be a bit hard to eat. Ikanodai kelp clouds the broth (has a lot of umami) but is also thick and soft, so those who eat it to the end also prefer Ikanodai. ○ We do not recommend kelp that does not clearly state the origin, such as "Hokkaido-produced" or "Hidaka-produced"! * Ikanodai kelp, which has been offered to the Imperial Family. * If you are buying Hidaka kelp, we recommend purchasing kelp from a production area of Upper Hama A (see the image for the grade) or higher. Most of the kelp people buy is from production areas below this. #Rishiri #Makonbu #Rausu #Sun-dried
