Supplier Showcase: Arashio

February 14, 2024

 

Arashio, rooted in the historic "Kunou-beach" of Shizuoka, holds a rich legacy in salt production dating back centuries. The company's journey began as traditional Japanese salt farms flourished, producing top-quality "Kunou-beach salt." However, the mid-20th century saw the rise of mass production techniques, leading to the decline of these traditional farms.

Recognizing the persistent demand for authentic Japanese salt from households and chefs seeking tradition, Arashio took a bold step. Officially commissioning the production of Japanese-style salt from the "Japanese Monopoly Corporation," the company resumed crafting the revered "Arashio" salt. This salt, a testament to Japanese culinary culture, seamlessly integrates traditional customs and incorporates insights from numerous chefs.

Arashio's signature offering, the Arashio Japanese Storm Sea Salt, stands out as a symbol of the brand's commitment to preserving tradition. Inheriting the techniques from Kunou-beach's ancient salt-making practices, the Flat Pot Salt "Arashio" continues to safeguard "Hiragama Salt," an integral element in Japan's palate.

Today, Arashio is globally renowned, receiving requests from chefs and families worldwide. Experience the delicate and soft taste that has captivated discerning palates around the globe.
