Dried in the wild: A worker lays freshly gathered “konbu” (kelp) on the beach rocks in Rausu, a fishing village in Eastern Hokkaido. After aging, the konbu is laid out on the rocky beach to dry again in the sun, a process called “hi-ire” (putting in the sun), which is done by all Rausu’s kelp producers.
