Mozuku is a form of edible seaweed that is farmed mainly on Okinawa, Japan's southernmost prefecture. The seaweed is harvested in the spring and has a long stringy texture. Mozuku is popular in mainland Japan as well as Okinawa, where it has been an element of the Okinawan balanced diet for decades.

How Is Mozuku Consumed?
