Numata nori in Kappabashi sells fine quality nori. The nori is harvested within the Ariake Sea in Kyushu. There are totally different kinds relying on the place it’s harvested – the terroir of the ocean, or single origin. One nori additionally contains aonori giving it a richer taste.
We stopped by lately and our favourite was a nori that’s solely harvested as soon as each three years.
Every nori is ranked on a scale of 1 to five for:
taste
crispness
meltiness
first style
after style
This one ranks a 5 (or excessive) in all classes. We additionally picked up some furikake – which I really like over cheese toast. Numata san additionally has an umami paste constructed from nori with ponzu – that’s vegetarian.
The nori boutique will give samples should you’re keen on buying. It’s also obligation free, so convey alongside your passport.
Chef @eduardogarciaguzman and his stunning spouse @gabrielalopezcruz from Mexico Metropolis cease by every time they’re in Tokyo to buy nori that’s served at one among their eating places. I consider at @maximobistrot. Chef has despatched us images of his delicacies utilizing nori and it appears to be like delicioso.
Tip for the cheese toast with furikake is to slice the bread about 2/3 of the best way into small squares. It makes it simpler to drag aside after toasting. Prime with cheese and soften in a toaster oven. Then prime with @numatanori furikake.
The sushi is from the @nobu Sushi Cookbook that I helped translate into English. It’s a scrumptious vegetarian sushi made with vinegared sushi rice, sesame seeds, myoga, and shiso. I did add some salted cucumbers. Pressed it in a oshizushi picket field for shaping sushi. You possibly can strive utilizing a milk carton lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Merely slice into thick items like sushi and wrap with nori.
