About this producer

Kunio Ogawa moved from Kumamoto to the Goto Islands in March 2000 and founded Goto no Umishio the following year. The shop describes its purpose as preserving and sharing Japanese food culture through salt made on Shin-Kamigoto.

The salt is made from seawater using a wood-fired pan. The producer highlights softly formed pyramid-like crystals and a measured amount of nigari as two characteristics of the finished salt.

Production and processing

Seawater is heated in a pan over wood fire and tended until crystals form, using a traditional heat-based salt-making process described by the producer.
