Rokusuke Honpo Rokusuke-Shio Medium Coarse Umami Salt White 130g

The Nakaara-Shio (medium coarse) is the textured version of Rokusuke Honpo's signature seasoned salt — the same base recipe of dried shiitake mushroom, kombu kelp, and dried scallop concentrated into an Australian salt base, but ground to a medium coarseness rather than a fine powder. The granules are fine enough to use directly in cooking without a mill, adding to sauces, braises, and seasoned dishes with a natural, rounded umami that ordinary salt cannot replicate. For finishing work — sprinkling directly over grilled meat or fish, salads, or freshly cooked rice — a salt mill is recommended to grind the crystals to your preferred fineness, though many users find the medium grind satisfying straight from the bag. The texture adds a subtle crunch when used as a finishing salt, which makes it particularly well-suited to grilled dishes, tempura, and onigiri. At 1,026 yen it sits between the standard white salt and the premium Umashio in the range.
