PURPOSE:To obtain 'TORORO-KONBU' (sea tangle flakes scraped with a blade), improved in taste, capable of raising food performance and applying visual coloring thereto by combining respective steps for softening the sea tangle, softening seaweed, superposing the sea tangle on the seaweed, pressing and cutting the superposed substance so as to perform specific action. CONSTITUTION:Respective steps for (a) bringing a sea tangle into contact with an acetic acid solution, etc., (sea tangle softening step), (b) softening seaweeds other than the sea tangle (seaweed softening step), (c) superposing the sea tangle after passing through the sea tangle softening step, simultaneously interposing the seaweeds after passing through the seaweed softening step at an optional interval of the superposed sea tangle and forming a superposed substance (sea tangle and seaweed superposing step), (d) pressing the superposed substance after passing through the sea tangle and seaweed superposing step (pressing step) and (e) cutting the superposed substance pressed in the pressing step from the transverse direction (superposed substance cutting step) are carried out to afford the objective sea tangle. If the softening treatment of the seaweeds, interposed in the sea tangle layers and composed of the seaweeds other than the sea tangle is performed by treatment with a neutral or weak acidic solution at pH6.5-5.5, action of providing a favorable state in superposing and integrating of the sea tangle layers with the seaweed layers is obtained. |
