Sea vegetables are rich in nutritional content thanks to tidal currents, which help them to accumulate essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and zinc. Nutritional value aside, in East Asia sea vegetables are also thought to contribute to general well-being. Mitoku offers a wide range of high-quality sea vegetables with a rich diversity of flavors, colors, and textures. Our sea vegetables are sourced exclusively from small, traditional suppliers, for whom harvesting the bounty of the sea is a way of life, and who pick wild sea vegetables when they are at their peak. Our sea vegetables are grown in the beautiful, emerald waters of Hokkaido, Ise, and other coastal regions famous for high-quality marine produce.
Nori
Famous worldwide thanks to its use in sushi, nori is versatile and easy to prepare.
Nori has been cultivated in Japan for over 300 years, traditionally by suspending woven net ropes between bamboo poles set in quiet bays. The nori grows over the nets throughout the winter and is then harvested at the beginning of the new year, when it is taken ashore to be washed and slowly air-dried. Mitoku’s nori is the highest grade available, notable for its fine, even texture and deep-green color.
