Wakame is cultivated off the
shores of Ise (ee-say), Japan where it thrives in cool waters of the Japan
arctic current. The sea there is surrounded by National forests and
mountains and is known as the 'Ocean by Mountains' area. Rivers nourish the
bay creating a mineral rich environment. This area leads all of Japan in
ecology movements. Development is forbidden to ensure future generations the
legacy of this famous edible seaweed resource. Our wakame is hand harvested
from January to the end of April by farmers in boats using long poles with
blades attached to cut the fronds loose from the ocean bottom. Long rakes
are used gather the wakame as it floats to the surface. The wakame is taken
ashore, washed, hung on ropes and left to sun dry before trimming, grading
and packaging. Unlike most commercial wakame, Wakame is not treated with
softening agents such as enzymes or monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Wakame is a species of brown algae with long, delicate leaves that resemble
feathers. Its size and tenderness varies depending on where it grows as
temperature and ocean conditions create a variety of plants. Wakame first
became known in the United States as the green in Miso soup, and is one of
the most popular sea vegetables in Japan and the United States today. Wakame
is quickly restored to tenderness when soaked and is a favorite in soups,
stews, marinated dishes and salads.
