The Talk of the Town: Jacobsen Salt Arrives in Japan



Jacobsen Salt, originating from Oregon, USA, has made its Japan debut. Crafted using the traditional, time-honored "flat pan method" to create flake salt entirely by hand from seawater, it has garnered popularity for its clean and pure taste.

Jacobsen Salt, from Oregon, USA, is a brand launched in 2011 by its founder, Ben Jacobsen, a native of Portland. Driven by a belief in creating the finest American salt, he adopted the traditional "flat pan method," where seawater is heated in pans and allowed to crystallize over 45 hours. Characterized by its clean flavor with minimal impurities and the satisfying crunch of its large flakes, every step, from measurement to packaging, is done by hand.

The pure sea salt, carefully produced from the cold waters of the Oregon coast, has earned praise from numerous critics for its refined taste. It is now used not only in Portland but also in renowned restaurants across California and New York.

The large flakes adhere well to ingredients and blend easily, making them perfect as a finishing salt for salads, vegetable dishes, and various oven-baked creations. Sprinkled over desserts like ice cream or chocolate cake, they not only add visual appeal but also enhance the sweetness. Furthermore, they can be easily rubbed together with fingers to form a powder, dissolving quickly and allowing for precise seasoning in soups and stews, truly embodying its versatility.
