Trails to Oishii Tokyo

Mozuku

Japanese consumers enjoy a number of edible types of seaweed, one of which is Mozuku. With its slimy, slippery texture, Mozuku may seem a bit off-putting at first, but in recent years it's been gaining attention in Japan and abroad for its many health benefits. We take a trip to the beautiful seas of Okinawa Prefecture to see how Mozuku is harvested, and discover how it fits into Okinawa's unique culinary culture.
