kombu is a seaweed that makes for a versatile pantry ingredient, providing dishes with umami flavor, nutrients, and minerals.
It’s a garnish for soups and such. It’s seaweed, but it’ll be a little on the slimy side once in the broth.
My mom used to eat that with rice and soy sauce.
That is tororo kombu (とろろ昆布 — characters on upper left, bottom row). [Here’s an article](https://www.justonecookbook.com/tororo-kombu/) with recipe suggestions.
ETA fixed link.
It looks yummy
