[The Story of the Moon and the Sea]The tides in the vast ocean are a phenomenon caused by the moon. In geology (earth science), this is called tidal force. The moon and the sea are closely related.The period of about five days before and after the full moon and new moon is generally called "spring tide." During this period, a large amount of seawater moves, increasing the amount of plankton, and fish that feed on plankton become more active. It is understandable why spring tide is considered the best time for fishing. Conversely, the cessation of tidal movement is called "slack tide," and it is said to be a period when fish are not caught. In this way, the phases of the moon significantly change the condition of the seawater.To change the subject slightly, the composition of amniotic fluid in the mother's womb is said to be very similar to that of seawater. Furthermore, many doctors and midwives have the impression that more births occur during the full moon. Is it not undeniable that the "sea" and the "moon," where life originated, and "our bodies" are closely related?We have prepared "Hoshishio" for the full moon and new moon by sun-drying seawater collected during these times. We would be delighted if you would enjoy it while contemplating the ancient romance of the sea, the moon, and life.
* Quoted from the Gourmet Club "Masters of Food" column.It tends to have a stronger aroma of the sea, making it compatible with seafood and seaweed. Its saltiness is mild, making it more suitable for white fish than red meat. Its delicate flavor makes it recommended as a finishing salt rather than for seasoning.
