Kombu Maki (Seaweed Rolls) introduction
Kombu Maki (昆布巻き, Seaweed Rolls) is a traditional dish originating from Hokkaido, a region renowned for being one of Japan's top kombu (kelp) producers. This dish features salmon, herring, or other fish carefully wrapped in kombu. Often, Hidaka kombu—known for its softness and low fiber content—is used, especially from the Hidaka region. Today, Kombu Maki is enjoyed across Japan, commonly appearing as part of osechi, the special New Year's feast.
