"Umi no Sei" sea salt from Izu Oshima, a tradition carried on by generations of people

"Umi no Sei" is a domestic sea salt from Izu Oshima that revives the traditional Japanese salt-making method that had once been lost. It is made using only clean seawater, the sun, the wind, and a traditional open-air pot, so it contains no chemical additives. However, it is not just salty, but also has a natural sweetness and mellowness that comes from being rich in sea minerals. It is made with the aim of creating a "truly delicious salt" that will make your everyday cooking just that little bit more special. It brings out the flavor of the ingredients, so the simpler the dish, the more noticeable the difference.

Same manufacturing method as Arashio + low temperature drying

"Arashio Dry" is basically made in exactly the same way as "Arashio," using 100% seawater from Izu Oshima, dried in the sun and in a flat pot, and then slowly dried at a low temperature. While Arashio is a little moist, this is characterized by its smooth texture and ease of handling.

It doesn't harden easily when stored in a tabletop salt shaker, and it's easy to sprinkle on food. I think this is by far the most convenient for everyday use. It retains the same sea minerals, but is easier to use in everyday life.

Does it taste the same as Arashio?

The taste of Arashio Dry is basically the same as Arashio. It contains a balanced amount of sea minerals, and is characterized by a mellow and gentle saltiness that is not just salty. It also contains not only sodium but also magnesium and calcium, so it has a clean aftertaste and does not interfere with the flavor of the ingredients.

\Recommended usage/

1. Use as table salt to season your meals

The greatest appeal of Arashio Dry is its ease of use, as it is smooth and does not harden. If you keep it in your salt shaker at the dining table, you can use it anytime without any stress.

You can sprinkle it on fried eggs, boiled vegetables, salads, and other foods when you feel like adding a little salt. While regular salt tends to clump and be difficult to shake, Arashio Dry can be sprinkled evenly until the very end, making it easy for the whole family to use. It contains sea minerals, so you can enjoy a deep flavor that goes beyond simple saltiness.

2. Seasonings for making bento lunches

Dry Arashi Salt is a great choice for busy mornings when making bento lunches. When making rice balls, sprinkle a little salt on the palm of your hand and you'll get just the right amount of saltiness. Moist salts can stick to your hands and be difficult to handle, but this makes it easy to work quickly.

It's also great for adding seasoning to omelets or stir-fried vegetables at the end of the meal; just shake it gently to distribute the seasoning evenly. It's delicious even when cold, and its appeal is that it really brings out the flavor of each ingredient in your bento.

3. As a finishing salt or dipping salt for fried foods

The deliciousness of Arashio Dry really stands out when sprinkled on hot, freshly fried foods like tempura and fried chicken. Because it's smooth, it can be sprinkled evenly and neutralizes the oiliness just right.

It's especially great for French fries and deep-fried vegetables, bringing out the sweetness of the ingredients. It doesn't absorb moisture, so you can use it all up, even when served in a small dish. Regular salt can harden in the oil, but Arashio Dry doesn't.

4. For grilled or steamed foods that require even seasoning

"Arashio Dry" is ideal for dishes where you want to season ingredients evenly, such as grilled fish, steamed chicken, and grilled vegetables.

The fine, smooth grains make it easy to sprinkle with your hands, ensuring that the salt is evenly distributed. Even when cooking with heat, such as baking or steaming, the salt is less likely to be unevenly distributed, resulting in a consistent finish. By spreading the salt evenly during the preparation stage, the flavor of the ingredients is enhanced, making even simple cooking taste even more delicious.
