Edible Kombu (kelp)

 

This polysaccharide called "fucoidan" is especially contained in Gagome kombu, which is found only along the areas of Hakodate to Muroran City of Hokkaido in Japan. The name of “Gagome” is derived from the concave and convex Ryumon patterns on the surface of its thallus, which is likened to the stitch of woven basket. TaKaRa Bio Inc., a globally renowned Japanese biotechnology company, has spent many years researching Gagome kombu, and successfully identified three different types of chemical structures of fucoidan in Gagome kombu for the first time.
