Rokusuke Umami Salt — Japanese umami seasoning made with sea salt, designed to deepen rice, vegetables, grilled dishes, and everyday Japanese cooking.
Rokusuke Umami Salt is a carefully selected food essential from Japan, suited to everyday Japanese cooking and thoughtful gifting.
Description
Rokusuke Salt is a premium Japanese umami salt created by Chef Shozo Takano, owner of the well-known restaurant Kushiyaki Rokusuke in Akasaka, Tokyo.
Made with a unique original method, this salt is infused with natural umami from dried shiitake mushrooms, kombu kelp, and dried scallops—resulting in a deep, rich savoriness that feels distinctly different from ordinary salt.
A small pinch dissolves quickly on the tongue, releasing layered umami with a gentle sweetness and a clean, lingering finish.
Flavor Profile
• Deep, rich umami with gentle sweetness
• Clean saltiness with a savory aftertaste
• Bold flavor with a balanced finish
How to Enjoy
• Sprinkle lightly on onigiri (rice balls)
• Finish grilled vegetables, eggs, meat, or fish
• Add a small amount to soups, stir-fries, or simple dishes to elevate flavor
Because it is highly flavorful, less is more—just a little brings out the natural taste of ingredients.
