Rokusuke Honpo Rokusuke Shiro-Shio White Umami Salt 130g

Rokusuke Honpo's Shiro-Shio is the original and most versatile salt in the Rokusuke range — a seasoned white salt that blends kombu kelp, dried shiitake mushroom, and dried scallop into the salt base using the brand's distinctive process, concentrating their natural umami without the use of any artificial flavourings. The result is a salt with noticeably more depth and roundness than plain sodium chloride: a gentle, layered flavour that seasons food thoroughly with less salt overall, and brings out the natural taste of whatever it touches. It works on virtually everything — a pinch over a freshly made onigiri is often cited as the clearest way to taste what it does, but it performs equally well over grilled fish, salads, tofu, steamed vegetables, pasta, and fried eggs. The 130g bag makes a considered everyday gift for anyone who cooks Japanese food seriously at home.
