Hmmm. I’m not quite that adventurous, lol.

I learned how to make it when our daughter and I went to Japan in 2005. The friend we visited arranged for us to have a cooking class led by a well known author of Japanese cookbooks, at the author's apartment in Tokyo.

When we came back home, I was talking about it with one of our sons' friends, Toshi, who is Japanese, and he laughed and said that Hijiki was one of his 'comfort foods', and that one of his Grandmothers always made it for him, when they went to visit her.
