Japanese Seaweed

Nori seaweed is the black paper-like seaweed that is usually used to wrap sushi or sushi rolls. It is a staple of Japanese food, having been manufactured for centuries. It comes in sheets just under 1ft square and can be cut to taste. We also supply nori flakes, which work quite well as a seasoning.  More Info >
