I don't know if they use ready-made kelp strips for salad or they cut kelp by themselves after preparing fish-based broth or sushi rice. The ready-made one is usually the part of kelp not appropriate for the 1st grade kelp of broth use. Of couse, it is still good kelp as you had it. So when the kelp for salad is not available in your town, but you can find kelp for broth, I highly recommend that you enjoy the nice kelp broth first, then reuse it for salad or other stir-frying dishes. One of the most popular reusing dish is tsukudani, it goes well with rice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukudani<br><b>References : </b><br> It is not wakame, but it is konbu, or kelp, they use.
