Well thatโs a wrap for this yearโs Wakame hunting season. Removed many hundreds of these invasive plants from southern Port Phillip Bay that are now being served in some amazing Vic restaurants. Thanks to our friend for the ripping pics and a special thanks to all the local chefs who have been so encouraging and supportive ๐๐

at in Daylesford has been doing some amazing things with seaweed. Check out this abalone dish featuring our Wakame!
Shaved Port Fairy Abalone / Seaweed from Australia and Japan / Cucumber / Last Years Tomato Vinegar / Kyoto Roasted Sesame Oil
featured on our last menu.
The Abalone is first braised and then sliced, to be served with different seaweeds sitting on a cucumber jelly. the texture of the abalone and seaweed is fantastic, with the mineral notes of the seaweed also complimenting the abalone perfectly. the cucumber jelly and tomato vinegar remind us we are in spring and give this dish an underlying freshness. finishing with a few drops of a sesame oil we brought from a family that has made sesame oil for over 150 years in Kyoto.
this was absolutely delicious, featuring wakame & mekabu / Kyoto konbu and Tosaka

Ahoy there friends. Meet our spanking new Furikake! Weโve weaved our ground kelp into an all-natural, umami-packed sprinkle that can go on just about anything. Especially good on avo, eggs, salads, stir fry, fish, rice, roast vegiesโฆ you get the idea. Massive thanks to our gun chef pal (aka Steve Rogers) for bringing this recipe together. Available on our website from today plus and a few other ace stockists coming shortly. A bit excited. Let us know what you think! Fyi Furikake was first developed early 20th century to ward off calcium deficiency and malnutrition in Japan. Since then itโs become something of a staple in Japanese pantries as a nutritious, flavour booster.
Ingredients: Dried Victorian kelp, toasted white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, chickpea miso, brown sugar, lemon myrtle powder.
