- The highest quality conpoy come from Hokkaido, Japan.
- When selecting conpoy, it is important to smell them. They should have a fragrant and concentrated seafood aroma. Good quality conpoy are light golden yellow in color, whole in shape, and dry and firm to touch.

How Do I Prepare/Eat Dried Scallops?
- Wash and soak the conpoy in cold water for at least 30 minutes before use. For soups, you can reserve the soaking liquid to be added to the soups as the conpoy flavors have already been extracted into the water.
- One of the benefits of using conpoy is that since they have such rich and concentrated umami flavor, you can reduce the amount of salt or even eliminate salt in your dish.
