The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

¥2,100/100sheets

From the early December, a local fishermen’s association sells this year's harvests of nori seaweeds at their office. I’ve heard around here there is one of few surviving nori farms in Fukuoka Metropolitan Area. This is a real local delicacy.

Unlike nori you would find in supermarkets, this nori hasn’t been seasoned or toasted. So before you put it on your table, you should lightly toast it over medium/low flame to bring out the flavour of the sea and crispy texture.

Immediately after being toasted, the flavour of the nori is simply wonderful. Even I, who don’t (or can’t) see how good locally produced salt shoul be (please see my previous post about the salt), can see the difference.

The fishermen’s association also sells nori in smaller package for gift, or roasted and seasoned nori.
