Morihan Top-Grade Nori Seaweed Yugen

You will often hear Japanese who are not from Tokyo complain that the capital consumes everything but doesn't produce anything. But that isn't true: there are many areas in western Tokyo that are rural and produce vegetables, rice, sake, and lots of other crops and even in eastern Tokyo, despite its dense urban areas, has places and companies that produce some high-quality foodstuff, directly or indirectly. Morihan, a company in Tokyo's Kamata district, is one such company that produces some of the best nori laver in Japan: it is called the Morihan Top-Grade Nori Seaweed Yugen.

There are many Japanese companies that go back not just decades but centuries, and Morihan is one of them: it has been producing its exquisite nori since 1869, around the time when Japan left the feudal age and became a modern nation. The Morihan Top-Grade Nori Seaweed Yugen is the pinnacle of its know-how and is made exclusively from the first buds of the plant, which are the softest and have the highest nutritional value. This means that the 20 sheets of grilled nori in this pack (4 bags of 5 sheets) will make you rethink everything you know about sushi – or Japanese food in general!
