What is country of origin?

Package indicates, "Product of China."

Is the country of origin japan? i wish amazon would make it very clear. if it’s china, i’m not buying.

The earth is round and water flows. Japan plans to release nuclear wastewater into Pacific Ocean, South Korea and Japan are separated by the Sea of Japan, and South Korea and China are separated by the Yellow Sea. Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean. Note, This is a seafood

Want to use it exclusively as a salad. Does it have that typical "crunch" (once hydrated) as a store-bought wakame salad?

I am sorry, I really cannot answer your question, it is one of about 100 items I sell. The only thing I can tell you it is dried seaweed. I imagine wet it gets wet is it still semi crunchy, but I dont know for sure. If you look under the main heading, you will see the question was answered that it is not good for salads, it is good for ramen and soups. I am sorry i could not be more helpful

How much does this make hydrated?

The whole package rehydrate will make 5-8 gallons of wakame, 2 tablespoons will make about a cup
