Ako Salt

A single pinch sprinkled with your fingertips brings out the sweetness of the ingredients. Containing an appropriate amount of bittern, Ako salt is not just salty, but has a mellow and rich flavor. It makes even a single rice ball or a piece of grilled fish taste more delicious than usual. The production of Ako salt is ancient, having developed in coastal salt pans that utilize the calm Seto Inland Sea and strong sunlight. During the Edo period, it gained fame through the secret "Sashijio" method, which intentionally includes bittern, to the point where it was praised as "Japan's Number One." That salt was transported all across the country. A supporting actor behind the scenes that provides a foundation for the flavor of dishes. With just one sprinkle, your everyday dining table is instantly elevated.
