It is said that the speed of our nori’s umami being detected is one of the fastest in Japan. You can sense the umami the moment you put our Ariake Nori in your mouth. Umami depends on levels of amino acids, and it is the “taka-zuri” (hanging high) method and the finely adjusted salinity concentration that enhance the flavor.
Flavor that fills your mouth, deepens the taste, and makes those who eat feel happy. Our nori is produced with care by slow drying at lower temperatures which brings about the best flavor possible.
Use our crispy nori for rice balls.
Crisp nori is very important when making rice balls and hand-rolled sushi which are eaten immediately after being wrapped with nori. To ensure crispness, we dry nori which is cut one-third shorter than that of other producers. The thickness of our nori is also, we believe, the most suitable for these purposes. For dishes such as sushi rolls which are often eaten a while after being made, Ariake Nori is ideal as it doesn’t get sticky or tough and remains easy to eat in a bite.
The rich flavor of our nori makes ramen tastier.
