We are engaged in the manufacturing of seaweed and seaweed processing machinery in Saga Prefecture. In recent years, the seaweed industry has been severely impacted by a phenomenon where the raw materials lose their color, posing a significant challenge for producers. To solve this issue, we have conducted extensive research over many years and successfully developed a unique manufacturing process that allows us to deliciousy process 'color-faded seaweed,' which was previously difficult to use in standard seaweed production. By completing this new product using our patented method, we are working to create new value for seaweed and contribute to the sustainability of the local industry. 'Bumpy' seaweed chips are now available at 'Otsumami Gallery Imari' starting April 14.
