Why are we doing?

The path Shutoku Kombu has walked is deeply intertwined with Ise's 'raw culture.' Ise's food culture has always valued bringing out the best in the ingredients themselves. The reason we are committed to kombu production lies precisely in this spirit of "rawness." Since our founding, our mission has been to preserve the original taste of kelp, without adding unnecessary ingredients, and to deliver the blessings of nature as they are.
　
The reason for launching the brand was the desire to pass on the traditional flavors passed down in Ise to the next generation. Even as times change, we take pride in sparing no time and effort to preserve the taste created by artisans' handiwork. Kelp selection is important depending on its purpose—dashi kelp, oboro kelp, grated kelp, and tsukudani kelp—and to bring out the unique characteristics of each ingredient, we use carefully selected kelp.
　
We also pursue quality that customers can choose with confidence, whether as souvenirs from Iseji or as gifts for celebrations or condolences. The white powder and grains that appear on the surface of kombu are also naturally derived ingredients, serving as proof that the quality of the ingredients is preserved as they are. We cherish this natural state and strive for sustainable manufacturing.
　
What we want to achieve is for people to feel "kindness" and "warmth" through kelp. We aim to deliver a heartwarming moment where kelp, filled with the blessings of nature and the passion of artisans, is present in moments gathered around the table with family and loved ones. From now on, we will continue to sincerely engage in kombu production, carrying Ise's traditions and respect for nature in our hearts.

What are we doing?

At Shutoku Kombu, we are meticulous in everything from ingredient selection to production methods to embody Ise's 'raw culture.' First, we put special effort into selecting kelp, carefully selecting the most suitable kelp for each use, such as dashi kelp, oboro kelp, tororo kelp, and tsukudani kombu. For oboro kelp, we use true kelp from southern Hokkaido, carefully selecting only those with thick flesh and thin ears.
　
In the manufacturing process, we carefully use a secret vinegar technique passed down since our founding called 'zukimae,' where kelp is soaked. The timing and timing of soaking in vinegar depend on years of experience and intuition, and artisans manage it with the utmost care. This process brings out the original umami and refined sweetness of kombu, creating a taste unlike any other.
　
Additionally, for shavings of oboro kelp and tororo kombu, a special kelp knife with a yakiyaki blade on only one side is used. Because the kelp soaked in vinegar is shaved off, the blade tips rust quickly, but each time it is carefully sharpened and the technique of shaving to a micro-thin thickness is a master that takes over 10 years. Tororo kelp uses only the core part of oboro kelp and boasts such beauty and delicacy that it is called "pure white yam."
　
The tsukudani kelp is handmade by hand using carefully selected kelp, special soy sauce, and honkare-dried bonito flakes, carefully examining subtle changes in the steam. In particular, the 'Dondoko Tamari Konbu' is a unique Ise flavor made with tamari soy sauce, and has long been loved by locals.
　
This commitment to traditional techniques and natural ingredients also contributes to sustainability and food safety. By using no additives and maximizing the power of the ingredients, we continue to create products that customers can enjoy with peace of mind.

Commitment to the product

Shutoku Kombu products are characterized by a unique flavor and quality that blend the excellence of natural ingredients with artisan craftsmanship. Among them, we introduce some of our main and notable products.
　
First, "Oboro Kombu" is made by soaking Hokkaido's true kelp in a secret vinegar that has been added since its founding, and carefully hand-carved each piece by skilled artisans with a special knife. Oboro kelp, shaved to an ultra-thin thickness of less than 1mm, is silky smooth, and when you take a bite, the deep umami of kelp and vinegar spreads. Its versatility makes it suitable for a variety of dishes such as clear soups, rice balls, and udon toppings. Customers have commented, "It's an elegant taste I've never had before," and "It's a great gift that would be appreciated."
　
Next, the "Matsusaka Beef Kelp Roll" is a masterpiece made with luxurious Matsusaka beef from Mie Prefecture and carefully selected kelp, slowly cooked together. The rich flavor of the meat and the richness of kelp blend perfectly, making it a popular dish with rice or as a snack with drinks. It is highly regarded as a souvenir or gift, making it a perfect addition to your dining table on special occasions.
　
Also, the "Pure White Tororo Kombu" uses only the core part of oboro kelp and shaves it gently with a dedicated shaving. It is characterized by its lightness reminiscent of cotton candy and the beauty of pure white, and when added to miso soup or clear soup, the natural flavor of the ingredients is further enhanced. Its natural flavor and smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture are well received by customers of all ages.
　
All of these products use no additives and focus on preserving the natural flavors of the ingredients. Please enjoy the gentle and warm flavors created by the blessings of nature and artisanal skills right at home.

Who are supporting us?

Shutoku Kombu is supported by a wide range of customers, including tourists visiting Iseji and locals. Especially at the Okage Yokocho shop, many visitors stop by when visiting Ise Grand Shrine or tourists looking for souvenirs from Ise. They are often used as gifts or seasonal greetings, and are valued as gifts for celebrations or funerals, as well as souvenirs for returning home.
　
Additionally, through our online shop and regional shipping services, we deliver the flavors of Ise to customers who live far away. Customers who have actually purchased have shared many warm comments such as, "The natural flavor makes it safe to eat," "The whole family can enjoy it together," and "It was very appreciated as a gift."
　
They are also available at wholesale stores and department stores, where their high quality and traditional manufacturing methods are highly regarded. In particular, many people were moved by the live sales of oboro kelp by artisans watching it shaved right before their eyes, and more people became fans of the brand through the hands-on experience.
　
In this way, Sakatoku Kombu has long been loved by those who value natural ingredients and traditional flavors, and those seeking gifts for family or loved ones.
