The Charms of Seawater Nigari
Easy to measure
When making tofu, it is important to use the right amount of nigari. You can use 200ml of nigari for 20 blocks of tofu servings.
Made from 100% pure sea water
The production area is in a remote island surrounded by beautiful nature, Izu Oshima. This nigari's raw material is 100% pure sea water carried by Kuroshio (Japan Current, a north-flowing ocean current on the west side of the North Pacific Ocean.) We don't use any other nigari or coagulant.
The manufacturing process includes concentrating the seawater with the salt-field type of net, which collects salt and the mother liquid from the collected salt. The contents of this nigari are not only magnesium chloride, but also contain a small number of trace elements in seawater abundantly.
The characteristics of this nigari is not only making your tofu more delicious, but it gives a slightly salty taste, a subtle flavor, and richness from the seawater.
For making delicious and rich tofu
