Kumi no Sio Okinawa Deep sea salt 500g

“Kumi no Shio” is a premium natural salt made 100% from Kume island’s deep seawater, drawn from a depth of 612 meters. The rich minerals of Okinawa’s ocean are carefully concentrated, then crystallized through steam heating and sun drying for a delicate, high-quality finish.

Unlike ordinary refined salts, which are mainly sodium chloride and can have a sharp, one-dimensional taste, this salt is rich in minerals, giving it a soft, slightly sweet flavor with deep,layered umami. It leaves no unpleasant aftertaste and enhances the natural flavors of ingredients, functioning as a “subtractive” salt that elevates dishes subtly.With reduced saltiness yet a well-defined taste profile, it enhances the sweetness of vegetables, neutralizes fish odors, and brings out the richness of meats. Suitable for both finishing and seasoning, it’s a versatile salt that raises the overall quality of any dish—crafted for professional chefs.
