Wakame gunkan maki

Wakame gunkan maki is a traditional type of sushi that comes in the elongated shape of a ship (gunkan). This version of gunkan is made with wakame, the edible brown seaweed with numerous health benefits. The seaweed is used as a topping for nori-wrapped sushi rice. The flavors are best described as neutral, refreshing, slightly sweet, and briny. When rehydrated, its dark green color turns into a bright and vibrant green. The dish can be found at most sushi restaurants in the country, and it's often accompanied by soy sauce, wasabi, and sushi ginger on the side.
