塩

About 60% of the world's salt comes from rock salt, but Japan relies on seawater.
Due to Japan's humid climate, salt production mainly uses the "kama-daki" (boiling) method.
Other methods include ion-exchange membrane technology and "moshio-yaki" (seaweed salt-making).
Salt is categorized into refined salt, processed salt, and natural salt.
Refined salt is pure sodium chloride with no minerals.
Processed salt is refined or imported salt with added minerals.
Natural salt is boiled seawater that retains its original mineral balance.
The mineral composition of human body fluids and amniotic fluid is similar to seawater.
Consuming natural salt helps maintain an ideal mineral balance without supplements.
For a healthier lifestyle, consider incorporating Japanese mineral-rich natural salt into your diet.
