Thank you for waiting!!!! These are dried seaweed that didn't dry properly due to their thickness, resulting in shrinkage. I will soon be listing the usual thin, first-harvest seaweed (about 300g for 100 sheets, which is the standard product). This is a thick seaweed with a satisfying texture. Following last year, the price seems to be rising due to a shortage of seaweed. I haven't put it up for bidding yet, so the price may change in the future, but thank you for your understanding (＞＜) It might go down, or it might go up m(_ _)m The seaweed is currently in good condition and is very black, but it could lose its color at any moment... Please enjoy the jet-black seaweed while you can! It turns a pale green when toasted! Hyogo Prefecture First Harvest, Damaged Dried Seaweed, 50 sheets Produced December 25, 2025 Best Before June 2026 The best-before date is set to six months from production, but it can be eaten for about a year if stored in the refrigerator or freezer and kept away from moisture! The flavor will gradually diminish compared to when it was freshly made. I inspect the seaweed, but since it is a natural product harvested from the sea, small shells or shrimp may be attached. They can be easily removed by scratching with your fingernail, but if you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. "Whole sheet" refers to seaweed that is 21 x 19 cm! "Damaged" means that the seaweed has shrunk slightly due to improper drying. There are also large holes and tears. The size of the holes and tears varies. Please refer to the images. The images are just an example. This is dried seaweed, so it is not crispy!! It is first-harvest seaweed, so it is very soft. It is not damp, so please be assured. Before eating, toast only the amount you will eat in an oven toaster until the color slightly changes, and enjoy it freshly toasted. The aroma of the sea and the taste are both superb! First-harvest seaweed toasts in an instant, so be very careful not to over-toast it. Please try it once. The seaweed is jet-black during this time of year, but it will lose its color as the nutrients in the sea diminish. 50 sheets of freshly made seaweed from the factory are stacked flat and simply packaged. The bag does not have a zipper, so after opening, we recommend storing it in a resealable container like a Ziploc bag and refrigerating it (^-^) If you are concerned about minor details, please refrain from purchasing m(_ _)m
