Tentang bahan ini

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.
