Hijiki of the Highest order!

If you love Japanese nimono, I'm talking hijiki with slithers of agedofu obvs, you really cannot use any other hijiki than this one from Clearspring. We have tried others, pretty much ALL others from EVERYWHERE and nothing cuts the mustard like this one. Yes, it's expensive but you are paying for quality here and anyway, my mum will not let me buy anything else now!

Hijiki is my favourite sea vegetable

I love Hijiki and have always bought it from Clearspring for many years as I know I can trust the product for quality. I love using it in my vegetable stews and soups.

I highly recommend Hijiki made into a sauce for Soba noodles when blitzed with Tofu, Shitake mushroom and soya sauce. Great snack or more substantial meal served with salmon and vegetables of your choice.
