Seaweed salad is the cool, crunchy reset that every rich Japanese spread needs, and at Sushijiro Catering we prepare our wakame version fresh in our central kitchen so it arrives glossy, springy and bright. It is the side that clears the palate between sashimi and tempura, and it has quietly become one of the most requested add-ons on our catering menus across Singapore.
What this seaweed salad is
Our salad is built on wakame — a tender, deep-green sea vegetable prized for its silky-yet-snappy bite and mild ocean flavour. Rehydrated and dressed Japanese-style, it carries a savoury, lightly sweet, nutty profile from sesame, with a gentle tang that keeps it refreshing. Visually it is striking too: ribbons of emerald seaweed flecked with toasted sesame, served chilled.
How our seaweed salad is made
We hydrate the wakame carefully so it stays firm rather than soft, then toss it in a house dressing of rice vinegar, sesame oil and a touch of sugar, finished with toasted sesame seeds. The balance leans clean and zesty, not heavy, so the salad does its job of cutting through fattier dishes. Everything is prepared meat-free and, like all our food, made strictly No Pork, No Lard.

How we serve seaweed salad for catering
This dish is a flexible, crowd-pleasing addition that holds beautifully through islandwide delivery. We offer it as a side on our Japanese buffet catering and mini buffet spreads, as a fresh component in bento catering sets, and as a palate-cleanser alongside sushi platters. For buffets we plate it in generous communal bowls; for bento it sits as a tidy side portion. Lead time of 1–2 days is ideal, with same-day orders depending on capacity.
What to pair with seaweed salad
Because it is light and acidic, this salad pairs with almost everything. It sits well next to chicken karaage, ebi tempura and unagi nigiri, and it is a natural companion to our donburi rice bowls when you want something fresh against the warm rice. A bowl of miso soup completes a simple, balanced lunch set.
