Varieties
The most generally available variety of arame is found near the Ise peninsula of Japan where it grows on rocks beneath the sea.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Arame should be washed well before using to eliminate any sand. Dried arame should be soaked at least five minutes before cooking. It doubles in volume when cooked, and is especially good in soups, or combined with tofu and land vegetables, or marinated and used in salads.
