◆ Ocean water is sun-dried and concentrated in a three-dimensional salt field within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
◆ The particles are uniform, fine, and moist.
◆ Delicious and wise. How to take salt
Whether outdoors or indoors, during hot weather, sweat gradually drips and becomes sluggish. In summer, especially, it is important to actively intake water, salt, and minerals.
Salt intake mainly comes from salt. Minerals are often associated with vegetables and fruits, but salt also contains many types of minerals.
“Salt is an indispensable substance for human life functions. This is because life operates with the proper balance of salts and minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Furthermore, it is believed that life was born in the sea. The mineral balance of human body fluids closely resembles that of the sea.”
*From “Cooking School Rima Textbook”
During the season when you sweat, it is especially important to choose mineral-rich salts that suit your body and to know the appropriate amount to take—*appropriate salt intake*.
There are various types of salt around the world.
Among them, for macrobiotic cooking, the salts that suit the body are traditionally made from seawater from the land or country where you live, using traditional methods, and are rich in minerals. These are also called “natural salts.”
When choosing, look for ingredients labeled “sea water” and check the nutritional information to see how much trace minerals are contained.
You can also choose based on your preferred particle size and production area.
Combine delicious salt with seasonal ingredients, toss or lightly heat them, and they will taste delightful and nourishing for the body.
Adding a pinch to broth makes it even more delicious and comforting.
So, what is the appropriate salt intake? It is said to be about 0.8% for soups, but activity levels and sweating vary from person to person.
If family members sweat differently, keep the seasoning light and let each person add salt at the table to match their individual needs.
For summer, besides taking salt and minerals directly from salt itself, recommended options include miso, soy sauce, pickled plums, plum vinegar, and salted candies.
Do you know what kind of salt is used in these? The recommended ones are naturally made salts from seawater, which contain many minerals.
Please pay attention to this when choosing seasonings and ingredients.

〇Principles of Production Area
Raw materials and manufacturing locations are within Japan. However, this excludes cases where ingredients such as spices not produced in Japan or sesame seeds with extremely low production volume are used out of necessity.
〇Principles of Raw Materials
Agricultural products are used without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and are non-GMO, seasonal, and open-field. Marine products are sourced from nearby natural waters. Livestock products are generally not used. No chemical additives or preservatives are used.
〇Principles of Manufacturing
Traditional, natural, and physical methods are employed. Modern, artificial, or chemical methods are not used. Even when mechanization reduces labor, the basic processes remain unchanged.
〇Principles of Components
The natural balance of ingredients in the raw materials is valued. Extraction, refining, or synthesis that excessively purifies or removes specific components is avoided.
〇Principles of Flavor
The original taste of the ingredients is preserved. Seasoning is based on enhancing the natural flavors with salt, avoiding artificial flavor enhancers, sweeteners, acids, or saltiness agents that create artificial tastes.
〇Philosophy
Respect is given to the traditional food systems developed over thousands of years by our ancestors. When creating new foods, principles such as “Shin-to-Fuji” (unity of body and land), “Whole One Item,” and “Yin-Yang Harmony” are strictly followed.
