Oujima island organic mozuku
$13.70
🥢 Okinawa’s ocean gift, organic and one-of-a-kind
Harvested around Oujima, a small island in Nanjo City, Okinawa, this mozuku seaweed carries the essence of Japan’s southern seas. Cultivated without culture media or growth promoters, it became the first mozuku in Japan to receive Organic JAS certification (Dec 2022) — a rare honour for seafood.
Salt-preserved for natural freshness, this mozuku keeps well at room temperature, making it convenient for storage, travel, or gifting. Thick yet silky, each strand offers a smooth inside and a crisp bite, a textural contrast unique to Okinawa’s pristine marine environment.
