Japanese nori - Japanese seaweed

Japanese 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. Call the team on 01743 741169 or shop online.
