Crafted When
the Snow Falls

Crafted only when the snow falls. Our sake lees are a rare gift, produced exclusively during Niigata's deep winter.

The natural cold purifies and concentrates the flavor, creating a salt with an intensity that can't be found anywhere else.

Designed to scatter evenly like light snow, these free-flowing crystals stay on the surface of your food to deliver a perfect burst of umami.

Our philosophy is rooted in Hokuetsu Seppu (1837), the historic chronicle of life in Japan's snow country. We honor this heritage by utilizing the natural chill of winter to refine our flavors.

DEEP UMAMI • SOPHISTICATED FINISHING SALT

Beyond Seasoning

Experience the synergy of umami: a masterful harmony of Glutamate from our snow-refined sake lees and Guanylate from forest-grown shiitake.

Free-flowing crystals designed to scatter evenly like light snow, staying on the surface to deliver a perfect burst of umami in every bite.

The natural cold of Niigata's deep winter purifies and concentrates the flavor—an intensity that can't be found anywhere else.
