Kombu is an kelp seaweed and the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine. It's full of umami and rich in nutrients. Learn how to use it in your cooking!
Kombu, known as dasima in Korean, is one of the most popular seaweed varieties for cooking due to its rich umami flavor and versatility. Kombu is rich in glutamic acid, as can often be seen by the fine white powder on the kelp strips. Common in many Japanese dishes such as miso soup and seaweed salad. Kombu is also the sea vegetable traditionally used in Japan to make dashi broth. Add Kombu to dried beans when cooking to enhance both the flavors and texture as well as decrease the cooking time.

Rausu Oni Kombu Seaweed is a pre-cut, ready-to-use kombu kelp for making dashi stock. It is not only made with excellent quality Rausu Oni Kombu kelp from Hokkaido, but also conveniently cut into the perfect size for cooking and packed in a cylinder for easy storage. Because kombu kelp is esteemed when it’s big and thick, premium dried kombu kelp products available in the market tend to be too big to handle in the home kitchen.
