On the northeast coast of Japan, in the Sendai region, are the pine covered islands of scenic Matsushima. This pure, cold water coastline is an endless series of quiet coves and sheltered shallows; the perfect place to grow nori. Numerous grades of nori are available in Japan and Sendai Select is considered in the top 1%. Its even texture and translucent sea green color are indications of its superiority. Versatile and ready to eat, Toasted Nori is a must for sushi, norimaki (sushi rolls), and rice balls ("onigiri"). Crumbled or cut into strips, it is an attractive garnish for grains, noodles, and soups.
Sushi is probably the most popular and well known of Japanese culinary creations. Sushi bars can be credited for introducing the wonderful world of Japanese cuisine to America. Since sushi bars are expensive, more and more people are "rolling-their-own" sushi for healthy and attractive meals to entertain friends or to create delicious party fare.
