   Nori is one of the most popular and traditional foods in Japan. It’s used for Sushi roll, Onigiri and so on.

   Farmers go to the shallow sea on the boats and pick up Nori grown on the nets. Bamboo sticks were used before nets.

After coming back to the land, they make thin sheets like paper.

　Omori is the birthplace of Nori manufacturing. It became active around 300 years ago (Edo period). After a while, Nori farming technology spread across all over the country from here. However, in December 1962, Nori farmers agreed to reclaim farming places for modern development of Tokyo Port. 300 years history around here came to the end.

　This museum was opened in memory of the Nori’s history in 2008 owing to passions of local people.
