A treasure of the sea, these pearls are also called “green caviar” because they have the characteristic of bursting under the bite like caviar. These clusters of umi budo were picked one by one by hand. Learn more about umi budo cultivation and our producer’s farm in our article: Nihon Biotech Marine Farm

The producer

Nihon Biotech

Nihon Biotech was founded in 1985 thanks to its founders' affection for Okinawa, its landscape and the richness of its environment. Specializing in the cultivation of umi budo seaweed and the marketing of products made from it, the company places great importance on research. Part of the premises is now dedicated to the study of cultivated umi budo, which has allowed Nihon Biontech to invent a variety of products around this algae in an ideal environment. Nihon Biontech fully participates in the life of Itoman, the locality in which it is located, thanks to various activities. It is possible to discover the region and umi budo through workshops, to camp on the company site or to stay in the lodge set up within its premises.
