Kiyotoshi Kudo, who researched and developed Kanpo Salt, further enhanced its power, and that is Shinpo Salt. We have gathered traditional sea salts from around the world and blended 17 varieties, including the highest quality nine-times-baked bamboo salt. Both roasted salt and sun-dried salt are included, creating a balanced mineral profile. It is, of course, recommended for everyday cooking, as well as for rice balls, raw vegetables, and fruits. The color and flavor may vary depending on the types of salt blended, but we adjust the blend depending on the time of year and season. Thank you. Type...Salt
