Saccharina japonica or kombu (/ˈkɒmbuː/, from Japanese konbu referring to the algae in the family Laminariaceae) is a marine species of Phaeophyceae (brown algae), a type of kelp or seaweed, that is extensively cultivated on ropes in between the seas of Japan and Korea.[1] It is widely eaten in East Asia.[2] A commercially important species, Saccharina japonica is known as called ma-konbu (真昆布) in Japanese, dasima (다시마) in Korean, and hǎidài (海带) in Chinese.[2] Large harvests are produced by rope cultivation, a simple method of growing seaweeds by attaching them to floating ropes in the ocean.[1][3]
The species has been cultivated in China, Japan, Russia, France, and Korea.[4] It is one of the two most consumed species of kelp in China and Japan.[1] The harvest is also used for the production of alginates, with China producing up to ten thousand tons of the product each year.[5]
Consuming excessive amounts of Saccharina japonica has been shown to suppress thyroid function.[6]
The species was transferred to Saccharina in 2006.[7] Three synonyms for this species name are Laminaria japonica J.E. Areschoug 1851, its variety Laminaria japonica var. ochotensis (Miyabe) Okamura 1936, and Laminaria ochotensis Miyabe 1902.[4]
With the development of cultivation technology, over 90% of Japanese kombu is cultivated, mostly in Hokkaidō, but also as far as south of the Seto Inland Sea.
