Can Australia become a global exporter of seaweed?? Well, that would be much appreciated!

I actually drove by this restaurant a few times but never have gone in….I definitely have to check it out now!
“Adding to its steady stream of acclaim, Umami Burger, a four-location chain in Los Angeles, was cited by GQ magazine’s Alan Richman for America’s Burger of the Year. The secret to owner Adam Fleischman’s triumphant burger is in the name: umami.

I have been continuously blogging about the benefits of seaweed, especially KOMBU, but I found read an interesting article I wanted to share with you all. This article actually pertains to our company because our main office is in Osaka, Japan. And of course, we care about the future of our children!
