See more Review: A great seaweed - This dried seaweed is easy to use and full of flavour. It reconstitutes to useable seaweed after about 10 minutes of soaking and then the water you have soaked it in should be disposed of and the seaweed rinsed to remove excess salt. After this, fantastic to stir fry with or for any other use in cooking. You only have to use very small amounts as it significantly swells - so great value for money and an important healthy addition to your diet. Review: Value for money and good quality - First of this was very good in terms of quality. I add it to my miso soup, noodle dishes and virtually any Asian style meals and seafood dishes. My girlfriend is Thai and she loves it as well and has asked me to order her some when I submit my next order. The seaweed is salty but some of that saltiness can be reduced by soaking and draining it before use and to be fair I really don't mind it as it adds to the seasoning of the dishes that I use it in. Finally it was good value for money as well as good quality. A definite winner for me. ## Features - Wakame is a premium grade dried seaweed from Japan. - It is also a delicious addition to miso soup and stir fries. - This wakame seaweed is thin, tender and slightly sweet, perfect for any type of diet or dish. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0083U0400 | | ASIN | B0083U0400 | | Allergen Information | Contains: Fish | | Best Sellers Rank | 19,234 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 393 in Powdered Spices & Seasonings | | Brand | Yutaka | | Country of origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,418) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,418) | | Date First Available | 16 May 2012 | | Format | dried | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Manufacturer reference | YTK241 | | Manufacturer reference | YTK241 | | Product Dimensions | 28.3 x 21.5 x 4.1 cm; 500 g | | Product Dimensions | 28.3 x 21.5 x 4.1 cm; 500 g | | Product Name | Food | | Speciality | Suitable for Vegetarians | | Storage Instructions | Store in a cool, dark & dry place. | | Units | 500 gram | | Use By Recommendation | Best before end | ## Images ![Premium Grade Wakame 500g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NGOXms1yL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this suitable for vegetarians? I can't assume it is as many packs have contains / could contain crustaceans.** A: I've been a vegetarian all my life and I eat it. Saying it's not suitable for vegetarians is like saying kale isn't vegetarian because there could be a caterpillar on there. The reason they mention the crustaceans is for people who have allergies - they can't guarantee there aren't any in the pack, but it's unlikely. Hope that helps xx **Q: Does this need cooking properly or can I just pour hot water on it?** A: You can just use hot water to re-hydrate it. You may want to cook it further to change texture. Good elf! **Q: Is this raw?** A: I think so...It's dehydrated...you soak it in water for 20 mins and then you can eat it...I put it in vegan broth... **Q: How does it look after soaking?** A: Wet, soft obviously and increases the quantity! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great seaweed *by D***S on 31 August 2022* This dried seaweed is easy to use and full of flavour.

The bag is resealable, so easy to store, but if you are not using it a lot, you might want to transfer it to a more air tight container. This wakame comes from China, and is of good quality. It expands tenfold, 1 teaspoon of this seaweed will fill a whole mug when expanded. I tend to take a small amount out of the bag and crush it to a tiny pieces before using it to sprinkle over miso soup or ramen bowl. ## Frequently Bought Together - Premium Grade Wakame 500g - Hikari miso 750g (ALL NATURAL) - WEL-PAC Dashi Kombu Dried Kelp 113.4 g --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48802360-premium-grade-wakame-500g](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48802360-premium-grade-wakame-500g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
