This kobucha tea can be eaten after it has been drunk. Kombu (kelp) is an essential soup stock flavor ingredient in Japanese cuisine. This tea contains Hidaka kelp, which is renowned for being the highest quality kombu in Japan, and the kombu can be eaten as-is after you have drunk the tea. The tea contains thick, chewy kelp harvested in Hokkaido in summer and autumn. Selected for the purpose of luxuriously drawing out the sublime deliciousness of this kombu even further is the soy sauce produced on Shodojima—an island boasting an approx. 400-year history of soy sauce production. Using especially high quality ingredients of island salt, soybeans, and wheat, this soy sauce is matured for a long period and makes the delicious taste of the high-quality Hokkaido kombu even more delicious!
