海苔の生産地＜Saga Prefecture: Number one seaweed producer in Japan.
Saga Prefecture will be number one in Japan for seaweed production for the 19th consecutive year until 2022.
Currently, Hyogo Prefecture holds the number one spot in Japan for two consecutive years, and it is not expected that Saga Prefecture will be able to reclaim its top spot this year.
“Saga nori” from the Ariake Sea is also known for its high quality.
In Saga City, a famous seaweed producing area, there are seaweed manufacturers everywhere, and Saga seaweed is sold at local prices at direct sales outlets.
In the Ariake Sea, there are about 300,000 seaweed nets spread out, and the seaweed fishing grounds cover an area of about 9,000 hectares.
People in Saga Prefecture have large stocks of nori in their homes, and while what is commonly sold in stores is roasted nori, the type eaten by people in Saga Prefecture is dried nori, which is typically roasted before eating.
Use leftover seaweed to make tsukudani.
Saga nori is used at Maruyama Nori’s Tsukiji main store, and many famous sushi restaurants serve sushi that cost over 10,000 yen.
At Saga Ramen Ichigen, there is a giant seaweed topping button, and when you order, a giant piece of seaweed appears along with your tonkotsu ramen.
