Summary
Factory worker who uses nori as raw material to process it into chrysanthemum flower shapes, and performs drying, seasoning, and packaging.
Description
Chrysanthemum nori makers use nori as raw material to form it into chrysanthemum flower shapes, and perform drying, seasoning, and packaging. First, the raw nori is washed with water to remove dirt and sand. It is then shaped into chrysanthemum forms using cutting machines or forming tools, dried in a drying machine to remove moisture, and seasoned with salt or condiments. Finally, it is individually packaged or boxed on the packaging line, inspected for quality, and shipped. In the manufacturing process, hygiene management, prevention of foreign matter contamination, and machine operation and inspection are important, and teamwork is required.
Future Outlook
Domestic nori demand is stable, and with the rise in health consciousness, demand for distinctive seaweed processed foods like chrysanthemum nori is expected to be maintained. On the other hand, as automation and labor-saving in manufacturing processes advance, the need for personnel with advanced quality management and line operation skills will increase.
