Sayaka Mori: Seaweed Maki Roll

The town of Monzenmachi in Ishikawa Prefecture is surrounded by both the sea and mountains. Here, Sayaka Mori (38) has decided to open a guesthouse limited to one group per night. Although she originally hated cooking, through learning from local teachers, she cooks dishes with ingredients she sources herself and shares the rich local food culture with her guests. This time, she prepares a special seaweed roll, made with seaweed that can only be harvested during a ten-day window.
