Sea of Precision Grilled Salt Table Jar is smooth and "the key to flavor"
Traditional kiln-baked method for making traditional roasted salt
Made from 100% seawater from Izu Oshima, "Umi no Sei Arashio"—a traditional Japanese sea salt produced by sun-drying and open-kettle methods—is baked at high temperatures.
It is very difficult to turn traditional sea salt (Arashio), which contains a high amount of nigari components, into a moisture-resistant roasted salt just by stir-frying in an earthenware pot.
Inspired by the ancient kiln-baking method passed down at the Misoshiodono Shrine of Ise Jingu, we have completed a delicious yet smooth traditional roasted salt.
Because it is baked at temperatures exceeding 600°C, the bitter components caused by nigari (magnesium chloride) are decomposed.
As a result, the bitterness is reduced, and it has a milder, lighter flavor than Arashio.
However, the amount of magnesium, an essential nutrient element, remains unchanged.
This salt is convenient for use as table salt with raw vegetables, boiled eggs, fried eggs, tempura, sashimi, and more, offering a rich flavor.
It can also be used in cooking—such as stir-frying, grilled fish, and steak—especially as a sprinkle salt during seasoning.
◆ Different from other products in origin, raw materials, and manufacturing method!
On the remote island of Izu Oshima, where the Kuroshio Current hits, pure seawater is collected and first processed into "Umi no Sei Arashio" using traditional Japanese saltfield methods utilizing the sun, wind, and fire.
This is then processed into "Umi no Sei Yaki Shio" by a traditional kiln-baking method, making it smooth and easy to sprinkle.
◆ Traditional kiln-baking method passed down at Ise Jingu!
Traditional sea salt with high nigari content is moist and difficult to turn into a smooth roasted salt. "Umi no Sei Yaki Shio" is baked at high temperature based on the ancient method passed down at the Misoshiodono Shrine of Ise Jingu, ensuring it will not become moist.
◆ Lighter and milder than Arashio!
Baked at over 600°C, the bitter component magnesium chloride is broken down, reducing bitterness compared to Arashio, resulting in a milder, lighter flavor.
◆ Same ingredients, but with a smooth texture!
Because it is baked at over 600°C, the nigari components (magnesium chloride) that cause moisture are decomposed. However, the amount of magnesium, an essential nutrient, remains unchanged.

＜Umi no Sei's Commitment＞
〇 Origin Principles
Raw materials and manufacturing locations are within Japan, except when using ingredients that cannot be produced domestically, such as certain spices or sesame seeds produced in very small quantities.
〇 Raw Material Principles
Agricultural products are used without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, non-GMO, seasonal, and field-grown. Marine products are sourced from nearby natural waters. Livestock products are generally not used. No chemical additives or preservatives are used.
〇 Manufacturing Principles
Use traditional, natural, and physical methods. Modern, artificial, or chemical methods are not employed. Even when mechanization is used to reduce labor, the basic process remains unchanged.
〇 Ingredient Principles
Value the natural balance of ingredients in the raw materials. Do not excessively purify or remove specific components through extraction, refining, or synthesis.
〇 Flavor Principles
Respect the original taste of the ingredients. Seasoning is primarily used to enhance the natural flavors with salt, avoiding artificial flavor enhancers, sweeteners, acids, or saltiness agents to create a deliberate taste.
〇 Philosophical Principles
Respect the traditional food system developed over thousands of years by our ancestors. When creating new foods, adhere to the principles of "Shindofuni" (harmony of the land and body), "One Object Whole" (whole use of ingredients), and "Yin-Yang Balance."
