とろろ昆布
tororo kombu
Tororo kombu is edible kelp processed into thin, feathery shavings that soften quickly in liquid and are commonly added to soups and moist foods.

Tororo kombu is a Japanese seaweed product made by processing edible kelp into very thin, feathery shavings. It is light, dry, and fibrous in appearance, and softens quickly when it absorbs liquid. Its taste is savoury and marine, though the exact flavour and saltiness vary with the seaweed and processing.
The shavings are commonly added to soups and other moist foods, where they become tender and may partly disperse. It is sold dried, sometimes in pressed or packaged forms. This is a processed kelp product, not an interchangeable name for every dried seaweed or for intact kelp pieces.
