Tokijiro Ikegami
Founded in 1848, we are the 8th generation of the Ebisubashisuji family in Osaka, celebrating 178 years of dedicated kelp business. The taste of handmade oboro kelp and tororo kelp made by kelp craftsmen using "natural kelp" that supports Osaka's dashi soup stock culture is exceptional. (https://www.ogurakonbu.co.jp/)
