Abaout salt

If you want to choose salt carefully, pay attention to the manufacturing method.

Natural salt is rich in minerals and is said to be more delicious, rich, and sweet.

Some people may think that refined salt is bad for you, but natural salt contains many impurities, so there is almost no salt that is distributed in a completely natural state.

The most common salt overseas is rock salt. Rock salt and sun-dried salt cannot be harvested in Japan because of its small land area and high humidity.

Therefore, seawater is used as the raw material for salt in Japan.

The method of concentrating seawater using ion membranes and reverse osmosis membranes and boiling it in a pot has become widespread, making it possible to produce large amounts of salt.

Some products are made by dissolving rock salt and sun-dried salt imported from overseas in Japan and then reprocessing it into salt.

Minerals have been removed from refined salt. Therefore, magnesium, a type of mineral, may be mixed in to prevent it from sticking and improve the taste.

Ajisio, a popular product in Japan, adds flavor by adding monosodium glutamate in addition to magnesium.

These products are classified as reprocessed salt, a type of refined salt.

Salt made from seawater is said to go well with seafood, while rock salt goes well with meat.

There are many flavored salts on the market, including truffle, matcha, and spices, to suit a variety of dishes.

Rock salt and black pepper are recommended for this recipe.　Try it with your favorite salt(*˘︶˘♡)｡.:*☆

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
