Amabito no Moshio 300g (in cloth bag) with YUMERIA Original Storage Container and Spoon Set, Hondawara, Seaweed Salt, Made in Japan (300g)

We were inspired to purchase this after seeing it featured in a Netflix show about salt, fat, acid and heat in cooking, and it is amazing! A fraction measurement is needed of this, compared to the stuff at the grocery stores. I usually buy Celtic sea salt, because I know table salt is unhealthy, but had no idea that this brand and type of salt was so good! Literally one grain fills your entire mouth with taste!!! I use it in my bread baking now exclusively.

The salt has a nice ocean-y, briny, seaweed flavor without being really aggressively salty (if this makes sense...). Using a pinch of this salt is a great way to elevate other flavors in the dish, and I'll use this for seasoning proteins early. The seaweed used in the making of this salt adds a bit of umami, plus seaweeds can have natural MSG, which amplifies tastes. I'm not a scientist, but I'd bet some MSG is present in small safe amounts, and this will help the salt bring out more flavors in foods it is used on. The salt is very fine grained, so use your fingers and restraint when seasoning.The packaging is first rate. A sturdy plastic tub with a durable small plastic spoon enclose a nice cloth bag with the salt in plastic wrapping inside. Everything is meant to protect the product, and it does. The kind of packaging you would expect of a Japanese perfectionist firm making obscure historic foodstuffs.

I have and use many types of salt in cooking and enhancing food, and to me, salt is not just salt. The origin, mineral content and grind or natural state make for subtle differences. Amabito no Moshio is intensely concentrated with a fine texture. I am just starting to experiment with it in mostly Asian dishes. I was happy to learn about it and am very satisfied with the purchase.

When I first tasted this it didn't do much for my taste buds- later I added it to some beans and rice and it bloomed into something I had never tasted and needed more of!! try it- tell me if you find the same magic!

The difference in flavor is slight. I can definitely taste the seaweed when I taste the salt by itself. I like it but do not know what to use it with that will not overcome the flavor.

After watching the documentary Salt Fat Acid Heat this Salt is what hit my fancy, it’s Amazing however I never got the container and spoon set . That’s disappointing .

Excellent! I love the product and packaging. Very nice flavor, quality packaging. I can tell these folks take pride in their work.Bought this for my son and will definitely by again.

Delicious! It's pretty salty, so use it sparingly! It leaves an amazing, fabulous taste in your mouth. I used it as a finishing salt in a brothy chicken vegetable soup this evening, it was perfect!It came from Amazon in about 2 days, would also make a unique gift for any foodie friend.
