## Description

Shirakiku Cut Dried Seaweed (Cut Wakane) in 2.5oz (70g) bag. Made in China

Review: This dried wakame (seaweed) is excellent! Just a small amount expands into a big portion once soaked into the water, so the 2.5 oz bag lasts a pretty long time. The flavor is fresh and perfect for the Japanese miso soup, salads, or adding to ramen. It’s cut into convenient bite-sized pieces, which makes it easy to use with no extra prep. I appreciate the quality, no sand, stems, or weird taste like with some cheaper brands. If you love Japanese cooking or want a (super) easy way to add sea vegetables to your meals, this is a great choice! Also, it’s very healthy!
Review: Tasty seaweed. Perfect for miso soup and just sea salad.
