Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is a species of kelp native to cold, temperate coasts of the northwest Pacific Ocean. As an edible seaweed, it has a subtly sweet, but distinctive and strong flavour and satiny texture. It is most often served in soups and salads.

Wakame has long been collected for food in East Asia,[3] and sea farmers in Japan have cultivated wakame since the eighth century (Nara period).[4]

Although native to cold, temperate coastal areas of Japan, Korea, China, and Russia,[5] it has established itself in temperate regions around the world, including New Zealand, the United States, Belgium,[6] France, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Australia and Mexico.[7][8] As of 2018, the Invasive Species Specialist Group has listed the species on its list of 100 worst globally invasive species.[9]

Wakame, as with all other kelps and brown algae, is plant-like in appearance, but is unrelated to true plants, being, instead, a photosynthetic, multicellular stramenopile protist of the SAR supergroup.[10]
