Inner Mongolian solar lake salt 300g

A gift from a faraway land

Solar lake salt is a delicious salt made from lake salt in Jilantai, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2,000 km northwest of Beijing.
Old documents describe this area as having the merit of being a hidden riverbed, with underground water from the Himalayan mountain range springing up through the salt strata of the great plain, forming a salt lake that is completely free from pollution over an eons of time.

The locals in this area call this solar lake salt the salt of life and have treasured it for generations.

Good salt has a sweet taste, and the main component of this is calcium.
On the other hand, it is magnesium, or bittern, that gives the astringency (bitterness).

Regular sun-dried salt contains a lot of magnesium, but sun-dried lake salt contains very little of it.Instead, it contains a lot of calcium, which makes it taste delicious, and is characterized by a subtle sweetness and a clean, pure taste without any impurities.

We have a wide variety of Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine, pickles and processed foods, etc.

It can be used in a wide range of applications, bringing out the flavor of ingredients and creating a mellow, deep umami taste.

Tengai Tenshio is made from the bountiful blessings of Mother Sea and the nourishment of Father Earth.

A global romance brought to Japanese dining tables from the salt lakes of the great plains of Jilantai, Inner Mongolia.
