Nori (海苔) is laver, a seaweed pressed into thin sheets and roasted. Ground to a powder it becomes a seasoning, sometimes called aonori-style when made from green laver, carrying the same toasty, ocean aroma in a form you can sprinkle. It is a staple finishing dust in Japanese cooking, scattered over okonomiyaki, takoyaki, rice and noodles. Like all the nori we stock, this is Japanese, which is rarer than it sounds, as most nori sold in the UK is grown in Korea or China.

What does nori powder taste like?
Toasty, briny and savoury, the flavour of roasted nori concentrated into a dust. It reads as a clean, marine umami with a faint sweetness, less smoky than bonito and less salty than a seasoning salt, so it lifts a dish with seaweed character without overwhelming it. Because it is so fine, it melts into hot rice and noodles and spreads evenly, giving every mouthful a hit of nori rather than the occasional strip. A little goes a long way.

What is the difference between nori powder and aonori?
They overlap. Aonori is specifically dried green laver, usually in fine flakes, with a bright, grassy marine aroma, the classic dust for okonomiyaki and takoyaki. Nori powder is roasted nori ground fine, with a deeper, toastier flavour. Both are sprinkle-on seaweed seasonings and are often used interchangeably as a finishing dust. Use whichever you have for rice, noodles and griddled dishes; the difference is one of emphasis.
How do I use nori powder?
Use it as a finishing seasoning, sprinkled on at the end rather than cooked in. Dust it over steamed rice, donburi, ramen, udon, soba and yakisoba, or blend it with sesame and salt for a quick furikake. It is just as good beyond Japanese food, over fried eggs, popcorn, chips, avocado toast or roast vegetables. Add it just before serving so the aroma stays fresh and the powder does not go damp.
How should I store nori powder?
Keep the pot sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and light. Like all nori it draws in moisture and will clump and lose aroma if left open near the stove, so close it tightly between uses and keep a dry spoon away from it. Sprinkle straight from the pot onto the finished dish. Kept dry, it holds its toasty flavour well.
