Ishigaki means "Stone-Gate" and is the Southern-most Island of Okinawa, Japan, 400 Miles south of the main Island. The Coral reef surrounding Ishigaki Island is a Japanese protected wildlife sanctuary and is considered the cleanest, most oxygen-rich sea water in the world which is where our new Masu Sea Water Salt originates from.

"Masu" is the traditional name for Sea Salt in the Okinawan Language, which is completely different from the Japanese Language. Our new Sea Water Salt represents a major breakthrough for human nutrition. Using a innovative environmental-friendly, patented, low temperature misting process, Masu Salt is born as the "first" crystallization directly from the coral sea water itself. It is coral sea water pumped-up from 60 feet into the ocean and then "steam"-misted out-like, cleaned and slowly-dried at a very low temp. for 3 Hours. No High Temperature accelerated artificial heat is used in the drying process. This assures that the trace minerals so profound in the coral water stay just as they were in the sea, so the natural living mineral balance inherent in the sea water is mirrored in the salt and thus is easily assimilated by the body. No other salt on earth can claim this balanced profile. Salt harvested from salt beds has compromised mineral balance caused by leeching and exposure to sunlight. Masu Salt contains over three dozen trace minerals including an unusually high level of calcium. Enjoy this unique, nutritious salt for your health and well being. This extraordinary salt truly redefines the term "fit for human consumption."

Please note that this salt is 100% sea water salt so it is much stronger than the familiar bed salts, so a little goes a long way and is well worth the higher price. All customers that have bought this unique salt has raved about it. Many of them have called us back right after they tasted it and ordered a larger size.
