Mami chef/owner Austin Miller keeps it local on his Izakaya menu
Over 98 percent of the seaweed we consume in the US is grown in Asia with little or no environmental oversight. What you eat at your local sushi bar is often re-hydrated when it gets to the States and then dyed that bright green color. For enterprising American kelp farmers, there is a huge opportunity to supply chefs, home cooks and companies like Atlantic Sea Farms with fresh, environmentally sound and highly nutritious kelp.
In downtown Portland, Maine, Mami’s chef/owner Austin Miller features locally sourced ingredients — including local kelp — on his Japanese-style Izakaya menu.
