Nagai Deluxe Sushi Nori, 50 Count

Pros: Great taste, cheap, low calorie snack.Cons: None!Bottom line: If you’ve ever had Korean or Japanese food this is a staple and this brand by far produces the best Nori I’ve ever had!My mother is Korean and I remember growing up eating Nori and rice every day. My mother passed when I was seven years old and this always brings back good memories.Flavor:Flavor is the most important factor for me. I’ve had some copious amounts of Nori in my life, some that miss the rich flavors of roasted seaweed and some of them that just down right suck. This one has a perfect balance of sweet and salty.Rollability:If you like making sushi rolls or Korean kimbap this Nori is great. It’s very easy to roll with a bamboo roller, it does not crack as easily as other brands.Shelf life and texture:The bag is resealable, great for keeping it from going stale. I’ve had a single bag last me over a month with the flavor and crispiness unblemished. The crispy texture is one of the best parts about this Nori for me, I like it when it has that satisfying crisp.Price:I have gone to many Asian grocery stores and loaded up my cart with many various brands of Nori and this one is one of the cheapest. At 50 sheets for about $9 this is about as good as it gets. With the balance of great taste and great price this is a steal.How I eat it:I prefer to eat it the way my mom would make it for me: Cut it into small strips, take a piece, add rice and eat. Because of the way I eat it, it puts more of an emphasis on the flavor of the seaweed because there are no other flavors to contest it, making it paramount that it taste good. It’s also a great alternative to eating chips, just break off a piece and enjoy. When I’m not lazy, I like to make kimbap (Korean sushi roll) especially if I’m cooking for friends or family; they always love it!
