Nori Seaweed Sheets

Nori sheets are a staple ingredient in Japanese cuisine – most famously in sushi, where they’re used to wrap all the rice, fish and vegetables together. However, nori is also used in many other Japanese dishes, such as rice bowls, salads, soups – or even just as a snack on their own!

All about nori

Nori seaweed sheets, famous for their distinctive umami flavour, are a key ingredient in Japanese cuisine, featuring in rice bowls, sushi, salads and soups. 

The use of nori in Japanese food dates back to at least the 8th century. Initially consumed as paste, nori sheets emerged in 1750 during the Edo period using paper-making techniques, leading to the creation of popular dishes like onigiri. Considered commoner’s food due to their affordability and availability, nori sheets thrived in street food for their long shelf life and accessibility. By the 18th century, roasted nori was a dietary staple in Japan.

Today, nori is a major Japanese export, with Japan producing billions of nori sheets annually, much of it from the Ariake Sea in Kyushu. But nori isn’t just food – it’s a key part of Japanese culture. It plays a significant role in traditional festivals and in family life, such as making onigiri for picnics or travel. There’s even a Nori Day (February 6th), where the cultural importance of nori seaweed sheets is celebrated. 

Whether you’re making classic maki rolls or temaki cone-shaped hand rolls, the key ingredient that holds everything together is nori seaweed sheets. High-quality nori ensures a neat sushi roll, best used with a bamboo sushi rolling mat for easy preparation. 

With our premium sushi nori sheets, making fantastic sushi at home is more accessible than ever. Grab some roasted seaweed sheets and delicious fillings of your choice today and get started!

Frequently asked questions

Nori is made just from seaweed! Japanese nori used to be eaten in paste form. However, nori sheets were invented in 1750, when traditional paper-making techniques were used to make the iconic nori seaweed sheet we know and love today. 

Nori is specifically made from red algae seaweed, which is common on the shores of Japan. It’s incredibly tasty, and nori sheets make up some of Japan’s most iconic dishes such as sushi and onigiri. 

Yes – nori sheets are generally considered to be very healthy. Nori seaweed sheets can provide protein, vitamins A, C, E and K, several B vitamins (especially B12), iron, magnesium, calcium, and plenty of antioxidants. They’re also considered a high source of fibre, which is fantastic for gut health!

Absolutely! Nori seaweed sheets can be used in many dishes, and they’re often taken straight from the pack. They’re great as a standalone snack; however, many people use nori sheets in traditional Japanese dishes such as sushi.

Nori pairs incredibly well with sushi vinegar, with the umami and sharp flavours coming together to make a fantastic flavour profile. Nori sheets can also be used in soups, salads and other Japanese snack-style dishes such as wraps. 

Sushi is the most popular dish that uses nori seaweed sheets – made of rice, raw fish or vegetables such as avocado and cucumber, all wrapped up in nori sheets. However, other dishes such as onigiri – a common picnic snack – use nori sheets. They’re also used in snack wraps, soups, salads and more!
