Sorry to keep you waiting!! Last year, due to a poor nori harvest, we couldn't get enough and missed being number one in Japan, but this season, Saga nori is aiming to reclaim the title of Japan's best! This product is a "訳あり" (slightly imperfect) item! Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things! I'm sure you'll be very satisfied after purchasing!! This is premium Saga nori, dried in December 2025. This is from Kawazoe, which is considered the best area in Ariake Sea. ★Shipping is, of course, free★ ★It has a beautiful color and luster, and is thick and melts in your mouth, making it the highest quality nori. ★It can be used as is, or for making rolled sushi and rice balls. ★It's incredibly delicious when lightly toasted. Expiration date, best before date, shop name, and storage instructions are listed in the photos. Avoid high temperatures and humidity, and eat soon after opening!! You can also freeze it for over a year! This is not roasted nori, so please be aware! There isn't much available, so order quickly!! The wrapping band will not be sent at the time of shipping! ☆Saga Nori Kokoro no Kai☆ (Saga Nori Heart Association)
