Konbu, also known as kelp, is a fundamental ingredient in Japanese cuisine, celebrated for its rich umami flavor and versatility.
Rausu Konbu, a step above, is revered for its exceptional quality, harvested from the waters of Rausu, a town on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. The cold, nutrient-rich currents of the Sea of Okhotsk contribute to the kelp's exceptional flavor. The sea kelp is then meticulously dried to preserve its umami-rich qualities. The slow and careful process is essential for maximizing flavor.
Aimono is celebrated for their dedication to sourcing and providing the finest ingredients from Japan. With a passion for authenticity and a commitment to sourcing the highest quality products, they bring the essence of the land of the rising sun to your culinary creations.
Endlessly versatile, add complexity and depth to a wide range of dishes. Dried kelp is most often used to make dashi, the foundational Japanese stock, but the possibilities go far beyond broth. Enhance everything from noodles and rice to marinades, salads, and beyond. A cornerstone ingredient when cooking classic Japanese dishes, add the premium flavor of Rausu Konbu to your recipes and capture the authentic taste of Japan.
