Sobre este ingrediente
Japanese coastal abalone — Haliotis discus hannai (Ezo abawbi, northern coastal) and H. gigantea (Madaka abalone, central / southern). Iwate, Miyagi, and Chiba dominate northern wild-harvest, while controlled aquaculture in Mie and Wakayama produces the majority of farmed supply. Domestic Japanese consumption focuses on sashimi-grade live, dried (hoshi-awabi for kaiseki), and increasingly canned for export. The shell mother-of-pearl (rakuden) is upcycled into cosmetic exfoliant powders and jewellery-craft inputs. Distinct from the existing scallop and other shellfish entries.
