Ise-Shima Dried Abalone is a dried seafood delicacy from Ise no Umaimonya, originating in the Ise–Shima region of Mie Prefecture, Japan. It belongs to a category of prized dried seafood ingredients that hold a special place in Chinese festive cuisine.

Made from wild black and white abalone harvested in local waters, it is distinguished by its thick, substantial flesh and pronounced umami. As wild specimens are used, each piece naturally varies in shape and color. Drying concentrates the flavor and aroma, delivering greater depth once the abalone is rehydrated.

Its defining characteristic is a rich, concentrated marine flavor with prominent umami. It requires rehydration before cooking and can then be used in slow-cooked dishes, soups, or preparations with rich sauces. The producer recommends storing it away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, preferably in the refrigerator.
