I'd just be open to most any of them, I guess.  I'm okay giving just about
anything a taste.  Whether or not it gets a second taste, though, I don't know
until the first. :)  I'd appreciate any links you can provide, though.

The kind I had I bought from Asian Food Grocer (I think that's it).  It was
pretty inexpensive, and I got way more than I intended.  My wife and I were
going to make onigiri, but kinda went wrong with it (too much salt) and haven't
tried since then. :)

What's funny is that I have a co-worker who is homeschooling his children
(well, his wife is).  He said they had a lesson about Japan and the Japanese,
so I said, "Oh!  I've got some dried seaweed!  Want some?"  So he agreed, took
it home, and let his kids try it.  I think they're around 5-6 years old.  He
said they were all excited, tried a little piece, and were... well,
considerably less excited.  Funny story, though!

I had a friend recommend them too for fresh, potent, salt-free seasonings.
We've yet to put an order in, but should be doing it soon.
