Hand-harvested Nagura Bay sea salt

What you’ll find

What Ishigaki no Shio is known for

About eighteen islanders hand-produce this sun- and kettle-dried sea salt from seawater drawn at Nagura Bay, continuing a salt-making tradition on Ishigaki that the brand traces back to 1717. The shop sells the plain salt alongside nigari and a salt-flavored cookie line made without synthetic additives.
