Alkaline Food Rich In Nutrition That Makes The Body ‘Happy’

Today's modern diet, which mainly contains acid-forming substances such as meat, carbohydrates, sugar, and processed foods, can lead to illness and aging.

Kombu kelp is called the strongest alkaline food and helps keep the body healthy. Since it covers most of the essential minerals and is rich in nutrition, it is ideal to consume not only the soup stock from kombu but also the kombu itself.

Abundant Dietary Fiber, Perfect For Gut Health

Kombu kelp contains alginic acid and fucoidan, which are water-soluble dietary fibers distinct to seaweeds, and when soaked in water, they dissolve and become sticky and thick.

Including insoluble dietary fiber, it contains about 5 times as much dietary fiber as burdock. It is also recommended for those who tend to suffer from stomach sickness and those who aim to have healthy body weight.

Strengthen Your Body With The Power Of Calcium

The amount of calcium contained in kombu kelp is 6 times that of milk.

Moreover, it is known that the calcium contained in seaweed is of higher quality than that of dairy products, is easily adapted to the human body, and has a high digestion and absorption rate.

Calcium is a nutrient that the body cannot produce, but using kombu kelp in your daily diet can prevent calcium deficiency.

Eliminate Iron Deficiency And Make Your Body Less Tired

Kombu kelp contains about three times as much iron as spinach and can be immediately incorporated as an ingredient to improve the basic strength of the body that tends to be easily tired.

Iodine, An Essential Ingredient For Maintaining Good Health

Iodine is also related to the production of growth hormone, so it is an important nutrient for those who are worried about physical disorders and children who are in a period of physical and mental development. Iodine is one of the essential minerals, and taking it little by little every day helps maintain good health.

By eating kombu kelp together with soybean-based foods, the effect of saponin inside the soybeans that can help improve blood circulation will be strengthened. The recommended way to eat kombu kelp and soybeans is through traditional Japanese cooking like miso soup or yudofu.

High-Quality Natural Hidaka Kombu Filled With Blessings Of The Pacific Ocean

The waves are rough along the coast of southern Hokkaido and the Hidaka region, therefore kombu kelp cannot be produced through aquaculture methods.

Hidaka kombu kelp is a precious sea blessing that can be harvested only on days when the weather and sea conditions are good during the fishing season, about 3 months from the beginning of July.

Hidaka kombu kelp, which has a unique flavor created by the traditional method of utilizing the nature of the Hidaka region, such as the gravel beach that promotes drying with the sunlight, moderate ventilation, and the beach breeze that slowly condenses umami, is truly a treasure of the beach.

Kawashimaya's kombu kelp products are prepared carefully with the harvesting knowledge and experience of a Kombu kelp specialty shop in Hidaka, Hokkaido. Therefore the quality is guaranteed.

Kawashimaya's Kombu Products Development Story

Did you know that different types of kombu kelp have completely different tastes and uses?

It's a food that Japanese people are familiar with, but when I looked it up, I was surprised at how deep the knowledge about kombu kelp was because it was full of things I didn't know.

In cooperation with Hokkaido producer Tamura Toshimitsu Shoten, we have prepared three types of kombu kelp while discussing many times which kelp will satisfy our customers. We only handle the highest quality kelp, grades 1 and 2. The taste, umami, and characteristics of each kombu kelp are completely different.

We hope that you will find your favorite kelp by using it according to your uses.
