Do they buy from supplier? Was it made in Japan? If someone have worked in Japanese restaurants, please answer . Thank you
We get them from a supplier. Some of the seaweeds are made in Japan and some are actually made here in the US. There are certain suppliers than only supply Japanese products that specify orders for resturants and grocery stores. You can find nori seaweed at any Asian store. You can find different types of nori. There is the nori that you use for sushi, nori that is in it’s raw form dehydrated (mostly used for miso soup or soups), nori that is seasoned with sesame oil and salt.

I am a former chef and worked in Japan, and correct they get it from suppliers in the packages to make sushi, it comes in square and round shapes, it is made by placing the seaweed on mats and it is dried, then cut into sheets.
It is not processed much and is high in minerals, iron and vitamins, and can be found in seasoning mix with other things like bonito flakes, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, chili flakes and citrus peel like yuzu.
I like it just broken up and added to hot rice with a dash of soya sauce and Japanese 6 pepper blend.
