Nori is stocked in the world food aisle of most large UK supermarkets, usually near other Japanese ingredients, and is widely available from Asian supermarkets and online. Look for it labelled as sushi nori or roasted seaweed sheets.
Where to look in the supermarket
- The world food aisle, often packaged alongside sushi rice and rice vinegar.
- Health food or snack aisles sometimes stock seasoned nori snack packs separately.
- Japanese and Korean supermarkets carry the widest range of grades and sizes.
What to check on the pack
Nori sheets vary in thickness and roast level. Sushi-grade sheets are usually a consistent dark green-black colour; thinner, cheaper sheets can tear more easily when rolling sushi.
