Shredded nori, or Kizami Nori (刻み海苔), is shredded unseasoned nori. The nori is pre-shredded and packaged for convenience. The Japanese sprinkle a handful over soba or udon noodles, donburi (rice bowls) such as oyakodon and katsudon, or chirashi sushi. If you can’t find Kizami Nori at your local Japanese/Asian grocery stores, use a pair of scissors to cut it into thin strips.
