Waka Hijiki Yuzu (Domestic Shipping Only)

Freshly harvested -- The crunchy Young Hijiki with yuzu flavor.

Hijiki has a very rich and mellow flavor like Wakame seaweed and Kombu (kelp).

Typical black hijiki is boiled for a long time after harvesting and dried. However, this young hijiki is boiled quickly, making it close to its raw state. In addition, we limit the Hijiki sprouts only to those fresh and young, rather than those which have grown large, making the texture crispy and crunchy.

It can serve as both the star and a supporting role on a plate with its strong presence.

“Yuzu Hijiki" combines such hijiki with the flavor of Yuzu (citron). Its best feature is that it is easy to eat as it is. You can eat it as if you are eating a freshly made salad.

It can be used as a condiment for udon or soba noodles, as an ingredient for pasta, or as a garnish for soup.

It is interesting to combine it with ingredients with similar textures, such as lotus root or kikurage mushrooms, for a more satisfying eating experience. Conversely, it has a good accent when added to soft ingredients.

[Important: Remove the salt first before eating.]
After rinsing off the surrounding salt, soak the hijiki in water for 3-7 minutes to remove the salt.

When you finish removing the salt from the water, gently rub the hijiki for a minute as if you are transferring the aroma of the yuzu to the hijiki. You will enjoy the aroma of yuzu even more. The yuzu peel can also be used for cooking.
