Hijiki Nimono is another home-cooking Japanese dish for everyday meals. Hijiki has a slender strip or thread-like shape. Typically, dried hijiki is sold in very small clumps, and when soaked in water, it becomes slightly elongated and stretched. It is often seasoned strongly so that it lasts for a few days and is ready to eat at any time. It is often found in bento boxes, and is a great side dish in meals any time of a day. Hijiki Nimono is also one of the healthiest foods among Japanese food.
