Production for this year has begun! The growth of the seaweed is very poor this season, and it seems like the first harvest production will be over in a flash(^^;) We will produce a small amount of seaweed from areas we haven't harvested yet tomorrow and at the beginning of next year. Following last year, prices are rising due to the shortage of seaweed. We haven't put it up for bidding yet, so the price may change in the future, but thank you for your understanding (＞＜) It might go down, or it might go up m(_ _)m The sea conditions are good right now, and the seaweed is jet black, but you never know when the color will suddenly fade... Please enjoy the jet-black seaweed while you can! It turns a pale green when toasted. This is a standard product, 100 sheets, with a thickness of around 320g to 340g. It may feel thin because it's the first harvest and is soft. It melts in your mouth perfectly. This is the best seaweed we've produced so far this season from the first harvest! It has a beautiful sheen, texture, thickness, and taste (＾︶＾) Hyogo Prefecture's first harvest, slightly imperfect dried seaweed, 30 sheets Produced December 29, 2025 Best before June 2026 The best-before date is set for six months from production, but it can be eaten for about a year if stored in the refrigerator or freezer and kept away from moisture! The flavor will gradually diminish compared to when it was freshly made. We inspect the seaweed, but it is a natural product harvested from the sea, so small shells or shrimp may be attached. They can be easily removed with your fingernail, but if you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. A whole sheet is 21 x 19 cm of seaweed! "Slightly imperfect" means there are large holes, tears, or folds. The size of the holes and tears varies. Please refer to the images. The images are just an example. Since it's dried seaweed, it's not crispy!! It's very soft seaweed because it's the first harvest. It is not damp, so please be aware. Before eating, toast only the amount you will eat in an oven toaster until the color slightly changes, and enjoy it fresh. The aroma of the sea and the taste are superb! Please be careful not to over-toast. Please try it once. The seaweed, fresh from the factory, is stacked flat and simply packaged. The bag does not have a zipper, so after opening, we recommend storing it in a resealable container like a Ziploc bag and refrigerating it (^-^) If you are concerned about small details, please refrain from purchasing m(_ _)m
