We offer 3 types of seaweed 

Traditional seaweed

Raw seaweed strands are cut and dried without any salting process. Each strand is carefully spread out by hand to soak in the sunshine and ocean air. This type of seaweed is the most commonly sold in Korea. We  store our seaweed under the following conditions: humidity maintained at 60-70% and temperature kept between 15-20°C.

Fermented Seaweed

We blanch strands of raw seaweed at 95°C for 30-60 seconds. Afterward, we rapidly cool it down using a pump with cold ocean water.

After drip-drying, the seaweed is soaked in brined water (with a salt-to-water ratio of 3:1, achieving a salinity of 22-25% with sea salt) for one day.

Cut / Silmi Seaweed

The central stalk of the seaweed is removed. Next, all the salt is thoroughly washed off, and the seaweed is cut into bite-sized pieces before being fully dried.
