新鲜的海白菜海苔经过精心分类并交付工厂。

海白菜海苔的最佳时间是从冬天结束到早春，那时它很软并且可以食用。经验丰富的渔民会观察海洋状况，并选择一天，使漂浮在海中的异物不会与海藻混在一起。海藻是从水中精心收获的。

收获后，将海白菜海苔立即在大筛子中旋转，然后用水冲洗，然后旋转干燥。然后将其带到加工厂，在那里将其高速纺丝并分成较小的碎片。在这些最初的过程中，诸如叶和藻类的异物被去除。然后，工人小心地松开海藻，并在一个大篮子里铺开，晾干。在包装和运出海藻之前，要反复仔细检查海藻中是否有异物。

Highlights. The day of harvest is carefully determined, and inspections are repeatedly carried out. The positions of the nets are carefully adjusted just before the seaweed is harvested from the water farm to avoid including leaves and flower petals floating in the sea. The amount of foreign matter which is gathered greatly varies depending on this timing, so we rely on the observation skills of veteran fishermen. Freshly harvested aosa seaweed is washed and separated by machine and by hand. It is carefully checked for contaminants repeatedly. Workers visually sort the seaweed before drying to reduce the amount of entangled foreign matter.

将海白菜海苔干燥并切成合适的尺寸，以进行食用和质量控制。

供应给工厂的海藻布置在生产线上。将其粗略地切成手掌大小的碎片，然后干燥。如果温度过高，则仅外表面会变干，因此必须在40至50°C的温度下缓慢干燥。干燥的海白菜海苔质地清脆。

接下来，将海藻切成一定尺寸。将其切成合适的块很重要，因为当块太大时，污染的风险会增加，而如果块太小，则会失去纹理。

Highlights. The seaweed is slowly dried at a low temperature, and then cut into moderately sized pieces to ensure good food texture. The wet aosa seaweed is slowly dried at a temperature between 40 and 50°C until it contains the right amount of moisture. The process has been improved so that the seaweed pieces are small but are still enjoyed when eaten.

利用我们原始的专业知识，以通过组合各种分类设备从各种角度清除异物。

海白菜海苔是在自然海洋环境中种植的，异物很容易附着。另外，它的形状很容易容纳异物，因此要附着什么并不总是容易的。

我们使用各种分类设备从各个角度识别异物。我们当前的分拣线设备是经过反复试验和反复设计而成的。我们将原始的专业知识与这些分拣机和设定机器速度等结合使用。

Highlights. Thorough quality control is applied using various sorting machines. Air Current Sorter. Light foreign matter such as bird feathers and pieces of plastic are blown away. Color Sorter. The sorting machine uses a visible beam to identify reflected colors. Any foreign matter that is not the same color green as the seaweed is removed. Metal Detector. Metal pieces are removed. A magnet is also used to remove magnetic sand, mud, iron sand, etc., which may have been overlooked by the metal detector. X-ray Fiber Detector. Unwanted matter such as broken pieces of clamshell, oysters shell, and sea urchin shell is removed.

技术熟练的工人仔细观察海藻，以清除每片异物。

几名熟练的工人检查海白菜海苔，并确保没有附着的异物。

无法立即检查大量的海白菜海苔，并且此步骤需要高度集中。一小时内检查不到10公斤。海藻的移动速度非常慢，因此检查员可以清除非常小的污染物。使用了不同颜色的皮带输送机，以提高可见度并防止忽略任何异物。

Highlights. Different colored belt conveyors are used so that no foreign matter is overlooked.Worker concentration is essential for this visual sorting. Even extremely small pieces of foreign matter are removed by hand. The belt conveyor has a white belt and blue belt. By checking the seaweed against different colors, overlooking foreign matter can be avoided.

It is important for us to remember the consumer’s viewpoint. We strive to achieve safety in our products and the trust of our customers.Development Dept. Yukako Kuroiwa

The shape of aosa seaweed easily holds foreign matter, so we pay careful attention during the production process. Manual labor is especially important when processing aosa seaweed. Workers look at small batches of seaweed and carefully remove any foreign matter during this time-consuming production process.

It is important to understand these processing steps and the characteristics of our products. It is also important to understand that we, the producers, also consider the products from the consumer's viewpoint. We know that any problem in the purchased product will instantly leave the consumer with a bad impression of our company. If there are any matters of concern during the initial steps or during various processes, we strive to quickly resolve each one.

As the producers, we will continue to work together as one to delivery safe, trustworthy, and delicious products to our customers.
