Hidaka Kombu is a versatile kombu that can be used for dashi as well as for consuming the kombu itself. Sourced from the pristine waters of Hidaka region of southern Hokkaido, Hidaka Kombu is celebrated for its delicate flavor making it an excellent choice for dishes where a subtle, nuanced umami is desired. Its gentle taste enhances broths and stocks without dominating the flavors of other ingredients. Many chefs in Japan use the kombu itself for kombu rolls.
