Trails to Tsukiji · Season 2018 · Episode 13
Japanese consumers enjoy a number of edible types of seaweed, including our theme this time, mozuku.

We take a trip to the beautiful seas of Okinawa Prefecture to see how mozuku is harvested, and discover how it fits into Okinawa's unique culinary culture.
