Umino sei

Prefecture of Japan: Tokyo

Umino sei in Japanese: 海の精

Embracing tradition, Umi no Sei still produces their salt using 100% seawater from Izu Oshima Island which is dried under the sun in shallow kettles. Their dedication to honoring their ancestors' knowledge and techniques has helped them to revive this method, which was banned in 1971 but later re-established thanks to their work with the Japanese Edible Salt Study Group.
