Ingredients: Ocean water (Miyakojima-Japan)
Manufacturing Process: Sunlight/Boiling/ Evaporation
Content: 250 g
Even further south than Okinawa lies the island of Oogami. It is a mysterious place which full of legends and myths. Ferries pass near the island before arriving at the Miyakojima's Shimajiri District. The Shimajiri district is filled with mangroves which aid in the prevention of erosion and help to maintain the health of the ocean. The area has become a precious resource for the purification of water.
On the 15th day of Japan's lunar calendar in the early morning at spring-tide, the time when the waters of the ocean have been saturated with the light of the full moon, Grampa and Grandma Fukuhara collect the purified water of the now calm ocean into containers, and use their own secret methods, perfected through years of trial and error, to evaporate the water. The remaining substance is finally transferred into a kettle, where the remaining water is then boiled slowly over a wood fire until Salt of Good Fortune”can be harvested.
Completely different from machine-based or other modern day methods for refining salt,this process requires hours of hard, repetitive labor until finally pure white crystals decorate the inside of the kettle. For every ton of ocean water, only a few grams of this hand-processed salt will be produced.

About Miyakojima
Ever since the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on 3.11 and subsequent nuclear power plant panic disaster, Japan has grown to fear radiation and its possible effects on the environment. In the midst of this panic, there has been a focus on “Possibility: Miyakojima”.
● Far from even Okinawa, Miyakojima is even further from mainland Japan and thus it is difficult for it to be polluted in such a manner.
Fears of radioactive produce and livestock have spread throughout the country. As Miyakojima is an island far away from the mainland, foodstuffs are costly to import. Thus, such goods have not been brought in to Miyakojima.
● There is also no harmful industrial pollution, airstrips for military craft or nuclear energy on the island.
