Umi-no-Sei Concentrated Bittern Liquid "Umi-no-Shirabe" (Domestic) is based on traditional bittern (nigari) produced through traditional salt-making methods, with its mineral balance adjusted for the purposes of seasoning and nutritional supplementation.
The raw material is 100% seawater, with no seasonings or other additives included.
Adding a few drops to dishes with high salt content, such as miso soup or ramen, significantly enhances the flavor. This is because the bittern components—which were abundant in salt in the past—balance the salts, removing the "sharp edge" of the salt and transforming the dish into a mild, delicious flavor.
By adding a few drops to drinks such as water, hot water, or tea, you can consume bittern components (primarily magnesium) that tend to be deficient in modern diets. You can easily supplement your nutrition in a traditional way every day.
The product is packaged in a convenient, portable dropper bottle for easy use when dining out.
* This is a domestic bittern (nigari) where both the raw materials and the product are produced in Japan using domestic seawater.* The raw material is 100% seawater; no other bitterns or seasonings are used.
