Saga Nori
A luxurious delicacy with a rich aroma, smooth texture, and melt-in-your-mouth sweetness

About Saga Nori
Saga Nori (佐賀のり, Saga nori) is a special type of seaweed cultivated in the coastal waters of the Ariake Sea. Known for its fragrant aroma, silky texture, and delicate sweetness, this seaweed stands out as an exceptional ingredient. The interplay between nutrient-rich freshwater and seawater, mixing perfectly with the ebb and flow of tides, creates the ideal salinity for nori farming. This unique environment, combined with the largest tidal range in Japan, ensures the seaweed receives abundant sunlight, resulting in its distinctive flavor and natural sweetness. Additionally, its shimmering black-purple surface that transforms into a vibrant green when toasted adds to its visual appeal.
Saga Nori, a perfect harmony of nature's blessings and expert craftsmanship, can be enjoyed on its own or as a key ingredient in dishes like hand-rolled sushi and rice balls. Meticulous cultivation and careful management tuned to changing weather and ocean conditions ensure its consistently high quality. This premium seaweed is truly a one-of-a-kind delicacy that deserves to be savored at least once.
