Premium A grade nori, by the fifty-sheet pack.
A grade sits just below the top A+ tier: fine, glossy, deeply savoury sheets with the strength to roll and cut cleanly, in the fifty-sheet catering pack a busy sushi counter actually runs through. The quality grade for kitchens that want premium nori at volume. 125g, 50 full sheets.

Why Chefs Choose This
- Premium grade: A grade, fine and glossy, a step up from everyday B grade.
- Strong enough to roll: holds seams and cuts cleanly, unlike the more delicate A+.
- Catering pack: 50 sheets, sized for a working sushi station.
- Japanese-grown: cultivated and made in Japan, not a Korean or Chinese import.
How to Use
- Rolls: hosomaki, futomaki and temaki with a premium finish.
- Nigiri: a fine band where you want better-looking nori than B grade.
- Platters: lay flat under sashimi and nigiri as a presentation base.
- Garnish: cut into strips to finish where appearance matters.
Nori (海苔) is laver, a seaweed grown on nets in shallow coastal water, then washed, pressed into sheets and dried much like paper. Japan grades it from A+ down, on colour, sheen, aroma and thickness; A grade is the premium tier just below the top, fine and refined but still strong enough for rolling. Every nori we sell is grown and made in Japan, which is rarer than it sounds, as most nori on UK shelves is grown in Korea or China. Ours is cultivated in the south of Japan and finished by Yamagataya, a Shizuoka nori house, then graded to the Japanese standard. We only sell Japanese nori.

What is A grade nori?
A grade is the premium tier of the Japanese nori system, one step below the top A+. The sheets are fine, glossy and deeply savoury, with a clean briny aroma, but they keep enough body to roll, wrap and cut without crumbling. That balance, near the refinement of A+ with the working strength closer to B grade, is why it suits a kitchen that wants its nori to look and taste premium while still standing up to service. It is a noticeable step up from everyday B grade for the same jobs.

What is the difference between A grade and B grade nori?
A grade is finer, glossier and more refined, the premium choice where you want the nori to look and taste a cut above. B grade is the everyday kitchen standard, a touch thicker and more robust, and more economical for high-volume rolling. Both are grown and made in Japan to the same standards; the grade reflects delicacy and appearance, not freshness or origin. Choose A grade for premium presentation, B grade for everyday volume.
Where is your nori from?
All of it is Japanese. The nori is grown in the south of Japan and finished by Yamagataya, a Shizuoka nori house, then graded to the Japanese system. That matters because most nori sold in the UK is actually grown in Korea or China; true Japanese nori is uncommon here. We only sell Japanese nori, across every grade in the range.
How do I keep nori crisp once opened?
Nori draws in moisture from the air and softens within hours, so keep it sealed with its desiccant sachet, or in an airtight tin, in a cool, dry cupboard, and reseal after each use. If sheets soften, a few seconds over a low flame or in a dry pan crisps them straight back up. Roll just before service so the nori keeps its snap.
