Actually I love Yamamotoyama tea because it has that fishy (kelpy
flavor I crave sometimes. I do also like their nori when I can't get
better stuff or don't have the time to go to a real market for the
good stuff. I've never thought to try to brew some nori, but I may
now... not the salty stuff but some of the finer sushi grade nori.
Kinda like a wakame miso soup without the miso.
