About Tororo Kombu Rice Ball
Toyama Prefecture holds the top spot in Japan for household consumption of kombu (kelp), earning it the nickname "Kombu Prefecture." Among its many kombu-based dishes, the classic favorite is the "kombu rice ball."
"Black Tororo," made by shaving only the outer surface of thick kombu, is known for its subtle tangy flavor. When wrapped around a rice ball, the richly umami-packed tororo kombu enhances the taste, offering a delightful balance of simplicity and indulgence.
These rice balls can be enjoyed at local restaurants and roadside stations across the prefecture. Additionally, supermarkets in Toyama feature a wide variety of tororo kombu perfectly suited for making your own at home.
