[0014] (Embodiment) An example of a nori seaweed product according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As an example, the nori seaweed product shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b) is formed in a corrugated shape (sine wave-like shape) with repeated peaks 11 and valleys 12 on both sides of a base nori seaweed material 10.

[0015] The seaweed product of this embodiment has a rectangular shape when viewed from above, with alternating peaks 11 and valleys 12 on one side 10a of the seaweed material 10 (for ease of explanation, referred to as the "front side"), and alternating peaks 11 and valleys 12 on the other side 10b (for ease of explanation, referred to as the "back side").

[0016] In this embodiment, the peaks 11 and valleys 12 on both the front and back surfaces are continuous, with the valleys 12 on the front surface 10a side becoming peaks 11 on the back surface 10b side, and the valleys 12 on the back surface 10b side becoming peaks 11 on the front surface 10a side.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2, in this embodiment, the height H of the peaks 11 (in other words, the depth of the valleys 12) is set to about 5 mm. The values ​​shown here are merely examples, and the peak height may be higher or lower than 5 mm. For example, in addition to 5 mm, multiple peak heights such as 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 7 mm may also be prepared.

[0018] 1(a) and 1(b), the number of peaks 11 and valleys 12 is seven, but the number of peaks 11 and valleys 12 described here is just an example, and the number of peaks 11 and valleys 12 may be more or less than this. Also, the peaks 11 and valleys 12 may be formed on only one of the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b of the nori material 10.

[0019] In this embodiment, the peaks 11a of the peaks 11 and the valley bottoms 12a of the valleys 12 are curved. By making them curved, the risk of tearing at the peaks 11a of the peaks 11 and the valley bottoms 12a of the valleys 12 can be reduced compared to when the peaks 11a and the valley bottoms 12a are sharply angled, and the yield can be improved.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the distance L1 between the peaks 11a of adjacent peaks 11 (hereinafter referred to as the "peak-to-peak distance") is approximately 7 to 10 mm; in other words, the distance L2 between the valley bottoms 12a of the valleys 12 (hereinafter referred to as the "valley-bottom distance") is approximately 7 to 10 mm.

[0021] Therefore, the distance L3 from the peak 11a of one peak 11 to the valley bottom 12a of the valley 12 continuing from the peak 11 (hereinafter referred to as the "peak-to-valley bottom distance") is half the peak-to-peak distance L1 and the valley bottom distance L2. The distances L1 to L3 described here are merely examples, and the peaks 11 and valleys 12 can be spaced apart either narrower or wider than these.

[0022] The seaweed product of this embodiment is completed by drying the molded semi-finished product, and as shown in Figure 3, the processed seaweed product has irregularly curved up portions 13 on both or either of the front surface 10a and back surface 10b.

[0023] The seaweed product of this embodiment has peaks 11 and valleys 12, which provide a texture not found in conventional flat sheet seaweed. When the curved portions 13 are further added, a different texture can be obtained than when only the peaks 11 and valleys 12 are present.

[0024] (Variation) In the above embodiment, the nori product is made up of one nori material 10, but the nori product of the present application can also be made up of two or more stacked nori materials 10. By stacking two or more nori materials 10, the product has a stronger chewiness than when made up of a single nori material 10, and a different texture can be obtained from when made up of a single nori material 10.

[0025] When two or more sheets of laver material 10 are laminated, they can be laminated so that the peaks 11 overlap each other and the valleys 12 overlap each other, or they can be laminated so that the peaks 11 do not overlap each other but are shifted, and the valleys 12 do not overlap each other but are shifted.

[0026] In the former stacking method, the peaks 11 overlap with each other and the valleys 12 overlap with each other, resulting in a chewy texture not found in the case of a single piece of bread, while in the latter stacking method, the peaks 11 and valleys 12 overlap with each other, resulting in a crispy texture not found in the past.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the peaks 11 and valleys 12 are formed on both sides of the base seaweed material 10, but the seaweed product of the present application can also be formed so that the peaks 11 and valleys 12 appear on only one side of the base seaweed material 10.

[0028] In the seaweed product of the present application, other ingredients may be mixed into seaweed as the base seaweed material 10. The other ingredients may include various seafood that goes well with seaweed (for example, whitebait, kelp, dried fish, etc.), as well as finely chopped vegetables.

[0029] In addition, in the nori product of the present application, a seasoning liquid can be applied to both or either of the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b. The seasoning liquid can be any of various seasonings such as soy sauce, sake, mirin, salt, and sugar (including combinations of these in appropriate amounts).

[0030] In the seaweed product of the present application, a flavored powder may be applied to both or either of the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b (including being attached to the seaweed product). The flavored powder may be salt, wasabi powder, chili pepper powder, miso powder, spice powder, curry powder, pepper powder, basil powder, or other flavor (including flavor) powders.

[0031] There is no particular limit to the size of the nori product, and it is possible to develop products in multiple different sizes. For example, the nori product shown in Figure 4(a)(b) is approximately 210 mm long x 124 mm wide.

[0032] In addition, the nori products shown in Figures 5(a)(b) are approximately 105mm long x 124mm wide, the nori products shown in Figures 6(a)(b) are approximately 52.5mm long x 62mm wide, the nori products shown in Figures 7(a)(b) are approximately 52.5mm long x 31mm wide, the nori products shown in Figures 8(a)(b) are approximately 31mm long x 105mm wide, and the nori products shown in Figures 9(a)(b) are approximately 52.5mm long x 124mm wide.

[0033] Furthermore, the nori products shown in Figures 10(a) and (b) are approximately 135 mm long and 190 mm wide, the nori products shown in Figures 11(a) and (b) are approximately 135 mm long and 95 mm wide, and the nori products shown in Figures 12(a) and (b) are approximately 67.5 mm long and 95 mm wide.

[0034] The size of the nori seaweed product shown here is an example, and the size of the nori seaweed product in this application may be other than the size shown in the example. The size of the nori seaweed product can be determined depending on the product. For example, if it is bite-sized, it can be used as a nori snack, and if it is about the same size as conventional roasted nori seaweed (slabs of nori seaweed), it can be used as edible nori seaweed.

[0035] Furthermore, there is no particular limitation on the direction of the waves, and the peaks 11 and valleys 12 may be configured to repeat in the short direction of the nori material 10, or the peaks 11 and valleys 12 may be configured to repeat in the long direction of the nori material 10. In some cases, the peaks 11 and valleys 12 may be configured to repeat from a corner of the nori material 10 to a diagonal position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the base seaweed material 10 has a rectangular shape as an example, but the shape of the base seaweed material 10 may be other than these, and may be any shape such as a perfect circle, ellipse, star, polygon, etc.

[0037] The nori products of this application may be provided with various patterns such as figures, letters, illustrations, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "patterns, etc.") Patterns, etc. may be provided (drawn) using edible materials or formed by laser cutting using a laser device.

[0038] When creating a pattern by laser cutting, the pattern can be made visible when the nori product is viewed from a plane, or it can be made visible only when the nori product is viewed from a specific direction other than a plane, such as diagonally or horizontally.

[0039] For example, when viewed from a plane, the laser-cut through-holes and through-lines appear as simple holes and lines, but when viewed from an angle, they can appear as a single connected pattern. This makes it possible to create a three-dimensional expression, adding unprecedented aesthetic value.

[0040] The nori seaweed product of this application can also be a roll of corrugated sheet material formed into a cylindrical shape (roll) so that waves appear on both the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. In this case, the inner space can be filled with various flavored pastes, etc.

[0041] The flavored paste can have the same flavor (flavor) as the flavored powder described above. The inner space may contain something other than paste. When rolling the nori, a flat sheet of nori without peaks 11 and valleys 12 can be used instead of corrugated nori.

[0042] The nori product of the present application can also be structured such that seasoning liquid, various flavored powders, or various flavored pastes are sandwiched between multiple (two or more) sheets of nori material 10. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a nori product with a new texture that is different from a single nori product having peaks 11 and valleys 12, or a nori product formed by stacking two or more sheets of nori material 10 having peaks 11 and valleys 12.

[0043] In addition, one or more of the various seasoning liquids, various flavored powders, and various flavored pastes (hereinafter referred to as "seasoning liquids, etc.") 14 mentioned above can be sandwiched between multiple sheets of seaweed material 10.

[0044] (Manufacturing method of seaweed products) The nori products of the present application can be produced, for example, using a nori product production apparatus 20 shown in Fig. 13. This nori product production apparatus 20 includes a pair of forming rollers 21a, 21b arranged opposite to each other, a heating device 22 that heats both forming rollers 21a, 21b, and a pressing force adjusting device 23 that adjusts the pressing force of forming rollers 21a, 21b.

[0045] The outer circumferential surfaces of both forming rollers 21a, 21b are provided with roller-side valley portions 24 and roller-side peak portions 25 that form peak portions 11 and valley portions 12 in the laver material 10. The roller-side valley portions 24 and roller-side peak portions 25 are provided continuously in the rotation direction of each forming roller 21a, 21b.

[0046] When producing a nori product using this nori product manufacturing apparatus 20, the nori material 10 is fed between the two forming rollers 21a, 21b which have been heated to a predetermined temperature, and the two forming rollers 21a, 21b form peaks 11 and valleys 12 on the front and back surfaces of the nori material 10.

[0047] The nori material 10 fed between the two forming rollers 21a, 21b can also be a nori material 10 in which one or more of seasoning liquid, seasoned powder, and seasoned paste are sandwiched between multiple plate-shaped nori materials 10 (see Figure 14).

[0048] The application of the seasoning liquid 14 to the seaweed material 10 can be carried out either before passing it through the two forming rollers 21a, 21b (before the peaks 11 and valleys 12 are formed on the front and back surfaces) or after passing it through the two forming rollers 21a, 21b (after the peaks 11 and valleys 12 are formed on the front and back surfaces).

[0049] The liquid seasoning 14 may be applied to both sides or only one side of the nori sheet 10. In a nori product using two or more nori sheets 10, it is preferable to apply the liquid seasoning 14 to the opposing sides of the two nori sheets 10, as shown in Figure 14.

[0050] When the seasoning liquid 14 is applied to the opposing surfaces of the two sheets of laver material 10, even if the seasoning liquid 14 is applied before the laver material passes through both forming rollers 21a and 21b, the seasoning liquid 14 does not come into direct contact with the forming rollers 21a and 21b, and this has the advantage that the seasoning liquid 14 is less likely to burn due to the heat of the forming rollers 21a and 21b. [Industrial Applicability]

[0051] The seaweed products of this application can be commercialized as seaweed snacks that can be eaten casually outside of mealtimes, as well as edible seaweed that can be eaten during meals. [Explanation of symbols]
