"Excellent Series"Nakashima yu-ichi


The umami that spreads the moment it touches your tongue
The authentic taste, the rare “Yu” grade

From Nakashima fishing grounds in Fukuoka Prefecture—located directly at the mouth of the Yabe River, a clear stream renowned for nourishing the Chikugo Plain—comes a nori that debuts with the highest grade, “Yū.”

This “Hon”-grade nori embodies the ideal of what truly great nori should be: beautifully jet-black, crisp with an almost popping bite, boldly savory, and wonderfully aromatic. The moment it touches your tongue, sweetness and salinity weave together, creating a vivid umami experience. Its lingering finish is deeply mineral-rich—reminiscent of sipping the warm, briny juices from freshly grilled oyster shells.

This is a sheet of absolute excellence, discovered at the auction hall. We invite you to savor it.
