Nori - Mishima Aonoriko
Finely shredded seaweed. Sprinkle over fried noodles, just like an artist who
signs his picture. Ao nori just adds that finishing touch to a Japanese meal.

| Nori Seaweed has a crispy texture and its saltiness complements the soft
sweetness of sushi rice. Sushi makes a wonderful hors d'oeuvre and it can also
be served as a main course. Mount Fuji sell sheets of roasted seaweed to compliment
any Japanese dish. |

| Nori is eaten in Japan almost everyday, from breakfast time to
late night snacks. Nori is usually eaten with rice. For Sushi, rice is rolled
with the nori and with a variety of vegetables and fish. |
