アカモク (Akamoku)

Japanese commercial harvesting (Akita / Yamagata) and the fucoxanthin-positioning supplement category were both pioneered domestically.
Fucoxanthin 0.05-0.3% dry weight; soluble dietary fibre 30-40%; alginate 15-25%.
Premium retail packs (frozen / fresh), miso soup additions, fucoxanthin metabolic-support supplements.
A brown seaweed (Sargassum horneri) historically considered nuisance bycatch but now positioned as a premium functional food on the back of fucoxanthin content. Akita, Yamagata and Niigata are the primary commercial production regions. The texture changes dramatically when chopped — releasing soluble dietary fibre that gives akamoku its signature thick, slippery mouthfeel. Used in soups, salads, and increasingly in fucoxanthin-extract supplements for metabolic-health positioning.
