The coast of Sanriku, with its RIA, is at the origin of its value. On the RIA, where the sea and the mountains are tightly nested, the rainwater that has fallen over a long period infiltrates deeply into the earth and produces a water rich in minerals in the bay.

In addition, this region is one of the three most fertile fishing areas in the world, where the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents meet. These various conditions make the coast of Sanriku an ideal environment for the culture of Sanriku Mekabu. The seaweed absorbs enough nutrients in the Sanriku area to become a thick and firm Mekabu, very sticky and aromatic.

Other algae thrive there, such as the Kombu, the Funiori, the Black Nori Bara. The RIA is also particularly conducive to sea urchin breeding. The Black Alga Nori or "Kurobara Nori" is a food rich in marine minerals that is harvested in the sea and dried in the sun since ancient times. One of the most important nutrients of the Nori alga is calcium, which is essential for the development of bones and teeth.

Among the other nutrients are potassium, magnesium, iron, which is at the origin of the black color of the Nori seaweed, zinc, as well as copper and manganese, making it a treasure of marine minerals. The Black Nori Bara is a dried Nori algae as.

As it is not chopped, it can contain debris, etc. This is why they are controlled and sorted one by visual inspection to ensure that they do not contain foreign objects. The authentic flavor and UMAMI of the Nori algae can be appreciated. When transporting, the seaweed is airy to preserve each fiber. It is therefore inevitably larger than other algae.

Due to the time and effort necessary for the production of the Black Algae Nori, the number of fishermen involved in its production is very low and, given the recent increase in the temperature of seawater, it is only available in small quantities.

The Kita-Sanriku plant carefully selects Japanese Algae Nori Black, Aromatic and High Quality. The large leaves of the Nori seaweed are also selected and carefully packaged to ensure good texture and good flavor when used in the kitchen.

Tasting tips:

The gem salt is exceptionally married well with the black bara Nori. When you place it on rice and you pour warm tea on to prepare a tea rice dish, the aroma and the sea flavor are wonderfully highlighted. This Nori goes well with the soups. In addition, the crisp texture of the seaweed could be an excellent accent in salads.

KITA SANRIKU

Kita Sanriku, sole company authorized to export sea urchins to Europe, has developed its own dried seaweeds production. These seaweeds are fished along Iwate coast, near Hirono town, in an exceptional 15 km stretch, bathed by Kuroshio and Oyashio currents. Kuroshio Current is a warm ocean current that flows northwards on North Pacific Ocean western side. Name is a Japanese word meaning “black stream”. Indeed, current is much darker than surrounding waters, which is explained by low amount of organic matter at the surface.

Kuroshio is the largest current in Western Pacific. Oyashio Current is a cold current on North Pacific western edge. It collides with Japan east coast Kuroshio Current to form North Pacific Current (or drift). Nutrient-rich Oyashio owes its name to its metaphorical role as parent that nourishes marine organisms. Oyashio current waters are the richest fishing grounds in the world, due to cold waters extremely high nutrient content and very high tides in some areas, which further increase nutrients availability. Kuroshio is important for climate, weather forecasting and fisheries management along Asia northeast coast as it carries a great deal of heat, salt and energy. Presence of these two currents is conducive to high-quality seaweed development.

KITA SANRIKU CERTIFICATIONS Sep. 2021 Completion of new factory International standard Simultaneous certifications: Food safety system certification FSSC22000 ISO22000 JFS-C (The JFS-C standard document is a standard document developed by the Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFSM) to help organizations establish, operate and improve their management systems for the manufacture of safe food products. In addition, this standardized document can also be used to have the organization's system assessed by external agencies, including certification bodies. This normative document is used by organizations striving to implement a food safety management system applicable worldwide.

December 2024: EU-HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) and MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification.
