The ARANAMI SAMURAI SALT SERIES is a high-quality salt product line offered by Ako Aranami Salt Co., Ltd., born from the desire to share the umami of Japan with the world. The first product in the series, ARANAMI SAMURAI SALT, was developed with the concept of “creating a culture of making onigiri overseas.” It is a small-grain coarse salt designed to enhance the flavor of onigiri and Japanese cuisine in general. This salt is perfect for salt onigiri, salmon onigiri, spam onigiri, as well as a wide range of dishes including tempura, sashimi, and grilled fish. The second product, ARANAMI SAMURAI OYSTER SALT, was created with the theme “bringing the delicate flavor of a marriage between Ako’s roasted salt and oysters to the world.” This salt offers a unique flavor not only to Japanese cuisine but also to Western and Asian dishes. It is especially versatile and can be used in tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg), shio-jiru (salt-based soup), soups, peperoncino, grilled meat, and more. This product has been recognized by Michelin-starred Japanese chefs.

The ARANAMI SAMURAI SALT SERIES incorporates elements in its product names and packaging design that appeal to foreigners, and the packaging includes QR codes for recipe videos in English, Chinese, and Japanese. This approach aims to motivate foreigners to try making Japanese food.

Ako Aranami Salt Co., Ltd. was founded in February 1977 in Ako, Hyogo Prefecture, which is recognized as a Japan Heritage site, after obtaining a license from the Japan Tobacco and Salt Public Corporation (formerly the Ministry of Finance) to manufacture and sell specially processed salt. For over 40 years, the company has reproduced the traditional delicious salt made in the Ako salt fields using its unique methods, offering it under the “ARANAMI” brand. In addition to supplying traditional coarse salt, the company also conducts research on salts worldwide, providing a unique range of products from Australian sea salt to rock salts from around the world.
