Moshio has deep roots in Japan's salt-making history, with references to salt made in association with seaweed appearing in some of the country's earliest poetry and literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTada Philosophy has produced Awajishima no Moshio since 1999, drawing on this older salt-making tradition while adapting production to contemporary food standards. For this Premium moshio, seawater and seaweed are carefully cooked over approximately four days, concentrating the character of both ingredients and producing its naturally pale brown colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe seaweed contributes gentle savouriness rather than an overt seaweed flavour. Tada describes the salt as \u003cem\u003emaroyaka\u003c\/em\u003e, or mellow and rounded, with less of the sharp, angular salinity associated with conventional salt. Subtle sweetness follows, together with a lingering umami character that gives Moshio considerable depth without overwhelming the ingredient it seasons.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination makes it particularly effective as a finishing salt. Sprinkle over sashimi, grilled fish, tempura or chilled tofu; use over freshly steamed Japanese short-grain rice and onigiri; or finish eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and steamed vegetables. Its savoury depth also works particularly well with grilled beef, chicken and pork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIts complex umami also gives Moshio an interesting place in sweets. Used sparingly, it can temper overt sweetness while bringing greater depth to caramel, dark chocolate, black sesame, anko, kinako, chestnut and sweet potato desserts. It is particularly good with browned flavours such as butterscotch, brown butter cakes and financiers, where its mellow salinity and savoury character become part of the flavour rather than simply providing a salty contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSashimi and tataki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese short-grain rice and onigiri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempura and karaage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled fish and seafood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChilled or grilled tofu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-boiled and fried eggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTomatoes, cucumber and avocado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushrooms and steamed vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteak, grilled chicken and pork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiso or Salted caramel and butterscotch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark chocolate and ganache\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeanut butter cookies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSticky date pudding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePecan and walnut desserts\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoffee cake or Tiramisu\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheddar and apple tart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNet Weight: 100g\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muroto Kaiyo Shinsosui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48136576762086,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0170\/9420\/files\/TP_Awajishima_no_Moshio_Seaweed_Salt_EHGS_7dec4741-2ff8-4446-ad1f-d43557f89d9a.jpg?v=1786176536","url":"https:\/\/easternhillgs.com\/ja\/products\/awajishima-no-moshio-japanese-seaweed-salt","provider":"Eastern Hill General Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
