What is Aizu Mountain Salt? The true nature of this mysterious salt born in the mountains
The Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture is an inland area that does not border the sea. Aizu mountain salt, produced in this region, has been attracting attention in recent years
How can salt be produced without an ocean? The answer to that question is "hot springs."
Located at the foot of Mount Bandai, the source of Oshioura Bandai Onsen has a unique origin: ancient seawater contained in the geological strata has dissolved into high-temperature groundwater
Over the years, the unique natural environment has produced a hot spring with a high sodium chloride content. The mountain salt made by boiling down the hot spring water of Oshio Urabandai Onsen is said to contain more minerals and have a different flavor than salt made by crystallizing seawater
In the past, salt was a very precious commodity in inland areas far from the sea. For this reason, mountain salt, which has been produced since the Heian period, was treasured and was even presented to the Aizu domain as tribute salt during the Edo period.
However, in 1905, national policy made the production and sale of salt a national monopoly, and mountain salt production was temporarily discontinued. A turning point came around 2005, when mountain salt production was restarted as part of a village revitalization project, and products using mountain salt began to appear on the market
