Salt

Salt Ramen and Salt Yakisoba are popular in Japan. Our foreign guests seem to be mystified because they don't have any dish named after Salt. And they use salt only as an ingredient. They are surprised by sprinkling salt over watermelon or even knowing salty sweets. The madam of the traditional Koji (Malt) shop has produced a new style of Shio-Koji which became a big hit. They promoted it by sharing the recipes and having seminars. Our foreign guests went to Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture to explore the root of purifying salt and experienced "Drawing Seawater". These features relate the unique relationship between Japanese and salt.
