Black Konnyaku (konjac) is a traditional Japanese specialty, similar to glass noodles, but made from powder from sweet potatoes. This black variant has gained its characteristic color by the addition of a little seaweed, which gives an authentic appearance and a slight umami flavor.
✔ Perfect for Japanese hot pot (nabe) or sukiyaki
✔ Ideal for simmered dishes, salads and Japanese fondues
✔ Can be cut into slices, cubes or noodles as needed
Konnyaku has a firm, slightly chewy texture and should be boiled in smaller pieces for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Itakonnyaku absorbs the flavor of the ingredients it is cooked with, making it ideal for spicy sauces, broths and marinades. It can be enjoyed both hot and cold – in ramen, pan-fried or as a fresh salad ingredient.
