■What is Ryujin no Shio (Ryujin Salt)?A natural salt rich in minerals, cultivated on the southern coast of Suo Oshima, in Angyo.Salt production on Suo Oshima, once flourishing, has been revived for the first time in 48 years since it ceased.
Its most notable feature is its clean aftertaste, a refreshing flavor characteristic of Suo Oshima.In fact, it embodies a commitment to creating a salt that "enhances the lingering taste of ingredients, rather than adding its own flavor."
The taste is overseen by Masaaki Murakami, the owner-chef of a Japanese restaurant on the island that features a kiln.This can be considered a rare type of salt production, as it is made with cooking and home enjoyment in mind.The finishing of the salt is a crucial time for determining its flavor, and it is currently produced at night to capture the perfect moment. The work is completed after sunrise. (It's hard work!)
This exquisite salt is made by removing as many impurities as possible.It is a gentle flavor, slowly crafted by hand, continuously stoking the firewood.
Another feature:The proceeds from the sale of this salt are used to fund the operation of the educational institution (Ryujin University) located here. This salt production was established for that purpose.Courses have already been held numerous times, and in the future, scholarships will be provided from this fund. It is also intended to make this place a "village" where people of all ages, from young to old, can gather.Please enjoy the healing taste of the island. It also makes a delightful gift.
■PackagingThe popular 60g size is perfect for home use.It comes in a convenient stand-up pouch with a zipper.
