Wasabi
Crispy Wasabi Seaweed Snacks
What it is
These are thin, crispy sheets of roasted seaweed that have been seasoned with a spicy wasabi flavor. The seaweed is typically roasted until it becomes brittle and light. The wasabi seasoning provides a pungent kick that is balanced by the savory, umami taste of the seaweed itself. They are often enjoyed as a light snack or as a crunchy addition to meals.
