Thank you very much. 160g 1270 yen 320g 2340 yen Shipping discount: 200 yen Name: Ikantadai-san Kenshō Konbu (Tribute Konbu from Ikantadai) Contents: 160g Length: 26cm Price: 1270 yen * There are different grades of Hidaka Konbu (see the image for the grades). Those involved in the konbu industry and locals consider Ikantadai-san Konbu to be the best in both taste and price, but it seems that it is still not well-known to people nationwide. Just as rice tastes different depending on the region, the taste is significantly different from other Hidaka konbu. We have made it affordable. Please try it once. * You can tell the quality of konbu by looking at the root konbu. The width, luster, and thickness are the key factors. * Hidaka Konbu (root konbu) is like a tree in a forest; when it receives a lot of sunlight, the leaves spread out, increasing the width, thickness, and luster, and the nutrients increase. However, in crowded places, the leaves are thin and narrow, and they become elongated as they try to reach for sunlight. Having a wide width, thickness, and luster are good conditions for konbu. * We recommend this product for those who are particular about konbu. For those who are not so particular, we recommend the slightly thinner Tokujo-hama Konbu (Superior Beach Konbu). * Rishiri, Rausu, and Ma-Konbu are preferred by high-end restaurants because the broth does not become cloudy, making them visually appealing, but they seem to be a bit hard to eat. Ikantadai-san Konbu makes the broth cloudy (rich in umami) and is soft even when thick, so those who eat it to the end also prefer Ikantadai-san. ○ We do not recommend konbu that does not clearly state the origin, but instead uses terms like "Hokkaido-produced" or "Hidaka-produced"! * Ikantadai-san Konbu, which was also presented to the Imperial Family. * If you are looking for Hidaka Konbu, we recommend purchasing konbu from a production area of Johama A (see the image for the grades) or higher. Almost everyone is buying konbu from production areas below this. #Rishiri #Rausu #Ma-Konbu
