Trust From The First Sprinkle

Knowing it's tested, traced, and comes from a Kagoshima family's tradition lets you focus on enjoying your food, not questioning its quality.

1. **First Spring Harvest Only** — Sourced exclusively from the initial Kagoshima Bay harvest of the year (April-May), when Aosa nutrient density and umami flavor are at their absolute peak.

2. **Hand-Harvested & Sun-Dried** — Gently gathered by local experts and traditionally sun-dried on nets, preserving its enzymes, vibrant color, and avoiding high-heat processing.

3. **Single-Origin Traceability** — Every pouch can be traced back to its specific harvest zone within Kagoshima Bay, Japan, via the batch code on the package.

4. **50g of Pure Leaf** — Contains 50 grams of whole, minimally fragmented Aosa leaves, not powder, for superior texture and culinary use.

5. **Rigorous Purity Testing** — Each batch undergoes 23-point independent lab analysis in Japan for heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium), radiation, and microplastics. Results are available online.

6. **Resealable Aroma-Lock Pouch** — Packaged in a light-proof, moisture-proof foil pouch with a resealable zipper to maintain crispness and prevent clumping.

7. **Rich in Natural Iodine** — Provides a natural, food-form source of iodine (approximately 15-20 mcg per 1g serving) to support thyroid function in the context of a balanced diet.

8. **Contains Dietary Fiber & Minerals** — A natural source of soluble fiber (alginate), calcium, magnesium, and iron as found in its whole-food state.

9. **No Additives or Preservatives** — 100% pure Aosa Sea Lettuce (Ulva prolifera). No fillers, anti-caking agents, colors, or flavors added.

10. **Instant Rehydration** — Unlike tougher seaweeds, Aosa rehydrates within seconds in hot or cold liquids, making it incredibly convenient.

11. **Certified Facility** — Processed and packaged in a Japanese facility certified for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and HACCP food safety standards.

1. For Miso Soup: Add 1 teaspoon (approx. 1g) of dried Aosa to your soup just before serving. It rehydrates instantly.

2. For Salads & Toppings: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon directly over rice, salads, or noodles for a pop of color and nutrition.

3. For Smoothies: Blend 1 teaspoon into your morning smoothie for a mineral boost without altering the taste.

Born from a Kagoshima family's 3-generation tradition of sustainable ocean farming, this Aosa Sea Lettuce was developed to bring Japan's purest coastal nutrition directly to your kitchen. We saw how modern diets often lack the trace minerals our bodies need to thrive, so we partnered with local harvesters to select only the first, most vibrant spring harvests from the nutrient-rich currents of Kagoshima Bay. Every 50g batch is tested in a Japanese government-certified lab for purity (heavy metals, microplastics) and potency, with results published online. It's not just seaweed; it's a piece of Japan's pristine coastline, trusted by over 50,000 households in Japan and consistently ranked as the #1 choice for culinary-grade sea lettuce by Japanese cooking enthusiasts for its unmatched color and flavor.

The 'Premium Japanese Aosa Sea Lettuce - 50g Kagoshima Harvest' by Japanese Green Tea Co. contains 100% pure Aosa (Ulva prolifera), a type of green seaweed sustainably harvested from the pristine coastal waters of Kagoshima, Japan. This single-ingredient product is prized for its rich nutritional profile, which includes high levels of dietary fiber, vitamins (particularly A, C, and K), minerals (such as iodine, iron, calcium, and magnesium), and antioxidants like chlorophyll. The inclusion of Aosa serves to provide a natural source of essential nutrients that support overall health, including thyroid function due to its iodine content, bone strength from calcium, and immune support from vitamins and antioxidants. Its dietary fiber promotes digestive health, while the antioxidants help combat oxidative stress. Harvested from Kagoshima's nutrient-rich waters, this sea lettuce offers a pure, umami-rich flavor and is free from additives, making it a versatile and health-conscious addition to dishes like soups, salads, and sushi.
