You can enjoy it in a variety of ways: eat as it is, eat with pouring sauce, cook with seasonal vegetables in broth or just drizzle a little soy sauce. Traditionally we use hijiki sea vegetables and carrot but you can choose different ingredients such as peas, edamame, wakame sea vegetables, mushrooms, sesame seeds, etc.
