Nori (海苔^?) is the Japanese name for edible seaweed species of the red algae genus Porphyra, including P. yezoensis and P. tenera. It is called laver in Wales and other English-speaking countries,^[1] though the popularity of sushi in the United States means that the United States is often an exception to this, either referring to the product as "nori" as the Japanese do, or simply as seaweed. Finished products are made by a shredding and rack-drying process that resembles papermaking.


역사

Originally, the term nori was generic and referred to seaweeds including hijiki.^[2] One of the oldest descriptions of nori is dated to around the 8th century. In the Taihō Code enacted in 701, nori was already included in the form of taxation.^[3] Local people have been described as drying nori in Hitachi Province Fudoki (721–721), and nori was harvested in Izumo Province Fudoki (713–733), showing that nori was used as food from ancient times.^[4] In Utsubo Monogatari, written around 987, nori was recognized as a common food. The original nori was formed as a paste,^{[citation needed]} and the sheet form was invented in Asakusa, Edo (contemporary Tokyo), in the Edo period through the method of Japanese paper-making.^[5]

The word "nori" first appeared in an English-language publication in C. P. Thunberg's Trav., published in 1796.^[6] It was used in conjugation as "Awa nori", probably referring to what is now called aonori.^[6]
