Sea of Spirit - Arashio is the traditional Japanese sea salt that truly represents Japan's heritage!
Recommended by top "creators" as a traditional sea salt.
In 1972, salt fields disappeared from Japan, and all domestically produced salt made from seawater switched to ion-exchange methods.
"Sea of Spirit" is a traditional Japanese sea salt that has been revived by consumers seeking authentic traditional salt.
The production area is Izu Oshima, a remote island surrounded by beautiful nature.
The raw material is 100% pure seawater carried by the Kuroshio Current.
No other raw salt ingredients are used.
The manufacturing method inherits Japan’s traditional techniques utilizing the power of the sun, wind, and fire, with added original innovations.
Seawater is concentrated using a net-structured salt pond system, and salt crystals are formed in steam-heated flat pans.
The composition includes not only sodium chloride but also small amounts of essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
The Japanese traditional sea salt (Arashio) is moist because it contains a balanced amount of nigari (bittern) derived from seawater.
The flavor is not just salty; it has a subtle sweetness, umami, richness, and sharpness.
It offers a complex, nostalgic taste derived from seawater.
When used in cooking, it enhances the natural sweetness and umami of ingredients, bringing out delicious flavors.
It is suitable for all kinds of dishes, but especially for simple salt-flavored dishes where the unique deliciousness of Japan’s traditional sea salt can be appreciated.
Perfect for rice balls, salt-massaged salads, salt-based broths and soups, salt-steamed dishes, salt-simmered dishes, salt-fried dishes, salt pickles, and pairing with sake.
Adding a pinch when cooking rice enhances the rice’s natural flavor.

〇Principles of Production Area
Raw materials and manufacturing are both within Japan. However, this excludes ingredients such as spices that cannot be grown in Japan, or ingredients like sesame seeds produced in very small quantities, which are used only when unavoidable.
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 pharmaceuticals are used at all.
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 Composition
The natural balance of ingredients in the raw materials is valued. No excessive purification or removal of specific components through extraction, refining, or synthesis.
〇Principles of Flavor
The original taste of the ingredients is preserved. Seasoning is based on salt to bring out the natural flavors, avoiding artificial flavor enhancers, sweeteners, acids, or saltiness agents that create artificial tastes.
〇Philosophical Principles
Respect for the traditional food systems developed over thousands of years by our ancestors. When creating new foods, principles such as "Shin-to Funi" (unity of body and land), "Ippon Zentai" (whole of one thing), and "Yin-Yang Harmony" are strictly followed.
