Agar may have been discovered in Japan in 1658 by Mino Tarōzaemon , an innkeeper who, according to legend, was said to have discarded surplus seaweed soup and noticed that it gelled later after a winter night's freezing.[6] Over the following centuries, agar became a common gelling agent in several Southeast Asian cuisines.[7]

Agar was first subjected to chemical analysis in 1859 by the French chemist Anselme Payen, who had obtained agar from the marine algae Gelidium corneum.[8]
