Who gave Japanese nori its name?
There is no specific nomenclature for nori.
Nori is thought to have been consumed since the Jomon period.As you can see from the shell mounds, seaside shellfish and seaweed were probably an important source of food for ancient people.
The word "Nori" is said to have originated from the word "nori," which means "something slimy.
The word "Nori" is said to have been created from the word "slimy", meaning "slippery", and refers to seaweed that is soft like algae.
The name "Nori" comes from the fact that it was not dry and square like you might imagine when you hear the word "nori" today.
I'm sorry for my poor English.
