Deep-sea-water salt and land-farmed umi-budo sea grapes

What you’ll find

What Kumejima Kaiyou Shinsosui Kaihatsu is known for

Established in 2000, this company draws deep ocean water from off Kumejima and desalinates it to separate mineral-rich salt from fresh water, using the same nutrient-dense water to farm umi-budo sea grapes on land. It processes the entirety of the prefecture's deep-sea water intake allocated to the island, selling salt and sea grapes under its own brand.
