Natural dried Aomori abalones are amongst the most sought-after, top-quality abalones. They have thick, short bodies, a soft texture, and are delightfully rich with a savory, umami flavor. Compared to fresh abalone, dried abalone has a more intense and concentrated flavour and a nicer tender texture to the bite. It is also sweeter in taste and firmer in texture than canned or frozen ones.
