This product is made by slicing the stems of domestically produced wakame seaweed and mixing them with the seeds of shiso, then simmering them in a soy-based sauce! The stems are highly nutritious, making them good for your health. The crunchy texture of the wakame and the popping texture of the shiso seeds are irresistible. Great on ochazuke (tea over rice) or plain rice! The flavor is also excellent, so it's also good as an accent in salads. Comes in a large, economical 1kg package!
