Hirokon Hokkaido Dashi Kombu (Kelp) - 1 oz
Kombu, also known as kelp, is an edible seaweed that is prized for its deep flavor. Kelp adds a deep savoriness and mineral flavor to foods due to its high concentration of natural glutamic acids. It is a fundamental part of Japanese cooking and comprises one of the main elements of dashi: a broth base that is the foundation for nearly all Japanese foods. Kombu is also used extensively in curing meats and fish through a process called kobujime: soaked kelp is wrapped around foods and aged to enhance their natural flavors. Ma-kombu is an exceptional variant of this fragrant kelp.
