Salt rich in minerals
Salt factory making salt with the blessing of the rich nature in Miyakojima.
Miyakojima is said to be made from an upheaval of corals, and there is a layer called Ryukyu Limestone underneath the island. When seawater passes through the layer, it goes through numerous holes in it which acts as a natural ”filtering device”. The filter removes impurities, and at the same time makes the seawater rich in calcium from corals. As a result, salt rich in marine component can be produced.
Their original method of salt production suppresses bitterness, so when it is dissolved in water it becomes just like seawater, pure enough for fish to live in.
The Yukishio, produced with a strong commitment to quality, contains 18 types of minerals, and was certified by the Guinness in 2008.
