Okinawa's seas are renowned for their exceptional beauty, ranking among the top in Japan. Among them, the waters around Miyako Island are so clear that they are called "Miyako Blue" due to their high underwater transparency and stunning clarity.
Furthermore, the "Miyako Island Snow Salt" is produced using seawater enriched by the island's geological layer of Ryukyu limestone, which naturally increases the mineral content. Compared to other salts, it lacks a sharp saltiness and instead offers a sweet and rich flavor, allowing the taste of ingredients to stand out and making it suitable for various dishes.
"Snow Salt" is made from the beautiful underground seawater of Miyako Island, with an emphasis on preserving the sea's natural components. It contains the nigari (bitterness) components usually removed during processing, and a total of 14 different ingredients have been detected.
It is made without adding anything or taking anything away. Miyako Island's "sea as it is, just as it is." That is Snow Salt.
