Our dedication to Wakame Seaweed
The thick and fresh Wakame of Oofunato Onsen,
a specialty born from our own aquaculture
In fact, Ofunato is the birthplace of Wakame seaweed cultivation.
Through years of refinement, we have developed thicker, more flavorful, high-quality Wakame, beloved by many.
Please try our historic delicacy, which has been coloring the local dining tables for years.
Do not underestimate it as a mere side dish
the Wakame from Ofunato is uniquely different.
The Sanriku Sea, known as one of the world’s three great fishing grounds, is a rich marine habitat with a variety of sea life.
The Wakame grown in such seas is surprisingly thick and rich in flavor.
Not just a splendid side dish, but a star in its own right with its deliciousness and satisfaction, please savor the Wakame from Ofunato Onsen.
Indulge in a luxurious shabu-shabu with fresh Wakame,
which has a shelf life of 3 days.
In Ofunato, from January to March, it’s a local tradition to eat fresh Wakame, before it undergoes processes like salting or drying, in shabu-shabu.
Dip the still brownish fresh Wakame into boiling water, and it quickly turns into a vibrant green. The texture is astonishingly delightful.
The impact and deliciousness of this Wakame will surely change your perception of it by 180 degrees.
