Yamamoto Japan

Just as some of the exquisite shops in London, England hang the Royal Warrant, and the Miyauchi Provincial Imperial License, which has been doing similar things since the Edo period in Japan, only well-established shops with excellent products and exquisite skills can be officially recognized, and the Yamamoto Seaweed Shop, which was born in 1849, is one of them, and developed Mitsuke seaweed for the Meiji Emperor to enjoy. After World War II, the name was abolished, but the products that were once reserved for the royal family are still circulating. From ramen to rice balls to sushi, seaweed is an inseparable ingredient in Japanese cuisine, and even year-end gifts, seaweed gift boxes are a major choice for Japanese people. Yamamoto seaweed is now in its seventh generation since its establishment in the Edo period, and its circular plum logo is consistent, symbolizing the ethereal fragrance of Yamamoto seaweed like plum blossoms. Yamamoto seaweed shops have established factories in Hatano and Saga, and the Ariake seaweed from the waters around Saga is popular all over Japan with its pleasant aroma. The Saga factory is only a 30-minute drive from the coast, so the seaweed is made in a fresh state. The best of Yamamoto seaweed is the first seaweed harvested in autumn and winter.

Haepyo Sea Brand Korea

The popularity of Korean-style seaweed in China is no less than that of Boss Tsai seaweed, and unlike the fluffy feeling of Thai-style fried seaweed, Korean seaweed is warmly sought after for its excellent oiliness. Haipai Seaweed is represented by Dalian Haipai Trading Co., Ltd., one of the best Korean imported food companies in China. Seaweed is as important in Korea as it is in Japan, and it is second only to kimchi in Korean cuisine. Haipai is the leader of Korean-style seaweed, which is slow-roasted seaweed, sprinkled with finely ground salt, and does not add too many fancy flavors, the recipe is simple, full of original seaweed flavor, and the thinness and crispiness are excellent. In addition to the most popular plain seaweed, the sea brand also has mustard, squid, tomato, cumin and cheese flavors, but the reputation is mixed. As soon as you eat the mustard seaweed, it gives people a stimulating feeling that the brain seems to be activated instantly, and the mustard smell is obviously noisy. The cumin and cheese flavors are more paradoxical and receive a cold reception, and they are rarely seen in the market. The grease on the surface of the seaweed is slightly heavier, and the mouth will not be dry when eaten, but the taste is greasy compared to the seaweed of Sizhou, and the price of a bag of 8 small packets is...

Good times Guangdong

Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, Xizhilang seems to be more familiar with its jelly pudding, but in fact, seaweed, milk tea and candy are also its main products, and its products are even found in developed countries in Europe and the United States, as well as overseas markets such as Southeast Asia.

CJ Xijie Korea

Founded in 1953 as Korea CheilJedang Sugar Industry Co., Ltd., CJ Group is one of Korea's largest multinational companies and was selected as one of the Fortune Global 500 companies in 2018. Food and food service are the core industries of CJ Group, and at the end of 2018, CJ Group decided to acquire Schwans Company, a U.S.-based frozen food company, for USD 1.84 billion to accelerate global sales. CJ Group started with only one brand, Daekidae, in China, but later added food and beverage brand Tous Les Jours, coffee brand Tushang, and Korean food representative bibigo. There are not many specialty seaweeds sold in China, only brown rice seaweed chips and plain seaweed. Brown rice seaweed chips have more flavors, abandoning traditional frying, using high-temperature baking technology, based on crispy rice crackers, accompanied by thin seaweed, with less salt, lighter than seaweed and not easy to eat. The price of a bag ranges from 15 yuan to 22 yuan. Although it is the same Korean brand as Haipai, CJ focuses on the sales of quick-frozen food, and its original seaweed taste is average, the market circulation is small, and a bag of 45g seaweed is sold.
