Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid scrubbing water kelp too vigorously, as this can wash away its distinctive oceanic aroma and flavor.
• Do not soak radish in salt, as this would ruin its crisp texture—using it fresh is essential for the best result.
• A small amount of wasabi effectively eliminates the kelp’s natural fishiness, resulting in a much cleaner, more refined taste.
• Adding fresh water ensures the dressing remains slightly moist, preventing the kelp from drying out or clumping.
