Founded in 1849, "Yamamoto Noriten" (山本海苔店) is one of the relatively new shops in Nihonbashi. As its name suggests, the shop specializes in nori seaweed.
It's a little hard to believe it but all these fancy packages contain different nori varieties.
Of course the shop couldn't be missing the mandatory classic-style corner for customers waiting.

And some samples so you can try before you buy.
