Nori is one of the most commonly used seaweeds in Japanese cuisine, due to both its use as a wrapping in foods like sushi and onigiri and its vibrant savoury flavour. In this recipe nori is combined with sesame seeds and brown sugar to make a tempting popcorn seasoning. NOTE: Amazon has Otafuku Aonori Flakes (Seaweed), 0.17oz for $4.99 and Badia Organic Black Sesame Seeds, 2.5-Ounce for 2.63
