TORORO KOMBU, Dried Shred Kelp

Recently saw an NHK video showing people in Hokkaido making this dried kombu product, so I was curious to try it.The texture and the taste are quite nice. Very nice on top of rice or in soup. This product is exactly the same inside as the TORORO kombuflakes from Nihon Ichiban, except for the vendor, price and package weight. The Nihon one arrived promptly, but this one shipped from Japan and therefore arrived later. Another reviewer noted that the big part of the cost is shipping. I'll be sure to load up my suitcase with it when I visit Hokkaido.

Expensive but it tastes good. From the shipping document we learned that the product is not very expensive but it had a shipping cost of about $20 and that is why the price is real high. But it is worth the cost.

Taste is very good. Only negative thing is excessive packaging which cost more. It could have sent me in small envelope instead. Overall it was a very expensive purchase.

Great product. Tastes as expected. Indispensable in soups.
