Itoshima Salt
Seawater from the Genkai Sea is slowly boiled using firewood. Itoshima's natural salt is born from this painstaking, time-consuming process. The flagship brand, 'Mataichi no Shio,' involves circulating seawater through a three-dimensional salt field, boiling it in cauldrons for several days, and finally aging it in cedar barrels. The entire process takes about one month. This preserves abundant minerals like magnesium and calcium from the seawater, creating a gentle saltiness and deep umami. The workshops on the Itoshima Peninsula are popular for salt-making experiences and tours, making it a staple souvenir of Itoshima today. Just a single pinch added to your cooking can dramatically enhance the flavor of your ingredients. It is a mellow grain that encapsulates the blessings of the sea.
