Kelp (from Hokkaido Rishiri island) - 利尻昆布 30g

Rishiri kombu comes from the waters around Rishiri Island off the northern tip of Hokkaido and is regarded as one of the finest kelps for dashi, favoured by kaiseki chefs in Kyoto.

It yields a clear, refined dashi with a clean, elegant umami and a light golden colour that never clouds the broth, making it the choice for delicate clear soups and dishes where the kombu should support rather than dominate the flavour.
