Wakame(ワカメwakame), Undaria pinnatifida, is a sea vegetable, or edible seaweed. It has a subtly sweet flavour and is most often served in soups and salads.
Sea-farmers have grown wakame in Japan from the Nara period. It has been nominated as among 100 of the world's worst invasive species according to the Global Invasive Species Database.
