Comment | The stuff it's made from is called agar-agar (寒天), but the end product (心太) is called gelidium jelly or agar jelly.
If you find it relevant to include the latin name for the stuff, maybe it's more appropriate to add it to the 寒天 entry. |

As I commented, you can get that by putting into the kanji lookup.
I have no interest in having a "dictionary" that says 東京 is "Eastern Capital" or 大阪 is "Big Hill". |
