Dried Hijiki Seaweed
Hijiki (Sargassum fusiforme) is a traditional Japanese sea vegetable from the Fucales order, long valued for its rich iron, calcium, magnesium, and natural dietary fiber. Using the historic Ise Method, hijiki is sun-dried at the shore, rehydrated, cleansed, and gently steamed to remove bitterness and unlock its deep umami flavor. Both Naga Hijiki (stem) and Me Hijiki (leaf) are used together to offer a perfect balance of texture and taste—an essential part of classic Japanese home cooking.
Ise Method:
A method developed in the midland of Japan, Mie Prefecture. Most hijiki produced in Japan is made with this method. During spring tide, the hijiki is hand-harvested with the sickle.
Hijiki is then sun-dried at the site. At this state, hijiki is still brown to dark green in color and has an astringent taste. Dried hijiki is taken to the processing site to reconstitute and cleanse any dirt and excess salt.
Hijiki is steamed for a couple of hours. By steaming, bitterness inside hijiki is washed off. Once steamed hijiki is dry, it's complete.
Indication:
Dried Hijiki Seaweed is distinguished by its characteristic, somewhat strong flavor, which is delicious when you have become accustomed to it. It is usually cooked separately and is eaten as an accompaniment, although it is also mixed with other vegetables.
