In addition, it is made only from the pure seawater of the Sea of ​​Japan and does not use any artificial additives. In addition, it is filtered twice, once when collecting seawater and once when collecting brine (concentrated seawater). Foreign objects such as microplastics are carefully removed, and the salt is made to make the most of the blessings of the sea.

• ✅ [Natural salt made by Kaiyu, a ryokan that takes pride in its cuisine] We started making salt without knowing what to do. At the beginning, we were unable to meet the expectations of everyone who helped us, and we suffered repeated setbacks. But we got back up again and again, and through trial and error, we have now received comments from many Kyoto kaiseki restaurants and hotels saying, "We want to use Kotohiki salt." We will continue to cook our salt carefully and with all our heart, so that our dishes will be described as "delicious!" as they have been in the past. Thank you very much for your purchase.
• ✅ [Why we started making salt] Our hometown, Kyotango, is rich in delicious ingredients such as seafood such as Matsuba crab and Kyotankuro Wagyu beef. As a result, tourism is thriving, and many people come here on gourmet trips. We want to serve food that makes those people say, "It's delicious!" and "I want to come again!" With that thought in mind, we started up in 1999 with the idea of ​​making "Kyotango salt" that brings out the umami of the ingredients to the fullest.

Surrounded by beautiful mountains and forests nearby, the seawater used is rich in minerals and flows from nature bathed in the blessings of the sun.

I wanted to make delicious salt! That desire was all I needed to overcome the challenge.

People have laughed at me and said, "This isn't salt!" But the most painful thing is... having caused trouble and disappointment to the local people.

But we got back up and tried again and again, and continued to try and fail.

Now, many Kyoto kaiseki restaurants and hotels have said, "We want to use Kotobiki salt!"

We will continue to cook our food carefully and with love, just as we have done until now, so that people will say it's "delicious!"

Why is it rich in minerals?

Kotobikihama Beach is a nationally designated natural monument and has been selected as one of Japan's 100 best beaches.

Every year, the sea receives the highest ranking in Kyoto Prefecture's water quality surveys, so the numbers show that it is beautiful and clean.

There are "beautiful mountains and forests" nearby, and the mineral-rich seawater that flows from this natural environment bathed in the blessings of the sun is used.

The result is a natural salt with a beautiful and gentle flavor, like the sound of a koto.

The solution to your problem is very simple.

Minerals are important nutrients that support various functions in the body.

However, our modern diet tends to lack the minerals our bodies really need.

However, the solution is very simple: just replace the salt you normally use with natural salt (Kotobiki salt)!

These minerals help balance the body and support vitality.
