Pure Korean Seaweed

About La Tortue

A Korean seaweed supplier built on consistency, quality, and long-term partnerships with global importers and distributors.

Our Story

La Tortue (라토투) means 'sea turtle' in French. Just as the sea turtle steadily crosses vast distances, we bridge Korean seaweed craftsmanship with dining tables around the world. La Tortue is a Korean seaweed exporter specializing in sushi nori, seasoned seaweed, and private label products for global markets.

Our Mission

We specialize in sourcing and exporting premium Korean Gim (김) — the same product known internationally as Sushi Nori, Roasted Seaweed, or Gimbab Gim depending on the market. We combine time-honored Korean production methods with modern quality control to deliver consistent results, every batch.

Our Commitment

With the steady spirit of a sea turtle always moving forward, we focus on building dependable, long-term supply relationships — not one-off transactions. Our partners value us for reliability, clear communication, and consistent quality.

From Our Partner Farms

We work closely with partner seaweed farms on the Korean coast, visiting farms directly to maintain quality at the source.
