Japan has a long history of kelp cultivation and is a major consumer of kelp. It is a world leader in research on kelp's nutrition and its relationship to human health. Mr. Kazutoshi Nishizawa is a famous Japanese algae biochemistry expert. He has been engaged in the research of seaweed nutrition, pharmacology and its relationship with human health for many years. His book "The King of Seaweed - Kelp" explains the nutritional value and medicinal value of kelp through a large amount of survey results and experimental data. He made a scientific discussion on its special effects in preventing and treating hypertension, adult diseases, etc., and listed the scientific ways to eat wakame. It is a good book that integrates the basic knowledge of wakame, nutritional value, medicinal effects and its mechanism.

The Japanese have been eating seaweed since BC, which has been fully confirmed by the excavation of shell mound remains. In addition, the Wakame Shrine in Kitakyushu City, Japan and the Sumiyoshi Shrine in Shimonoseki City across the coast from Kitakyushu City still retain the tradition of the shrine's abbot walking into the sea to hold a wakame harvesting ceremony in the early morning of the Spring Festival every year, offering the harvested wakame in front of the god and announcing the start of the wakame harvesting season.

In ancient Japan, wakame was not only offered as an offering to gods, but was also one of the offerings presented to the Yamato imperial court at that time. Therefore, wakame has been an important marine product for the Japanese people since ancient times. Kelp is one of China's important export aquatic products.
