【Event Introduction】
From Wednesday, August 20 to Tuesday, August 26, 2025, a pop-up event titled “Salt and Rice: Shiojiro” will be held at the Eat-In Booth of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store Food Collection. This event features the completely sun-dried salt crafted by master salt artisan Shiojiro Tanoya as its star attraction. “Shirojirō’s Salt,” crafted using a unique method relying solely on the sun and sea breeze without fire, captivates top chefs worldwide. Its rarity is exceptionally high, earning it the reputation as a “legendary salt” difficult to obtain even within Japan.
This event offers a set meal centered around “salt rice balls” generously made with the sun-dried salt of master artisan Shiojiro Tanoya. Furthermore, under the supervision of Ryosuke Seito, a rising star food producer known for his work with renowned Japanese confectionery “Kashi Kurogi,” a one-of-a-kind special shaved ice featuring salt as an accent will also be introduced.
An extraordinary culinary experience for all five senses, woven from the “ultimate salted rice ball” and the “supreme ice.” Savor this summer-limited bowl, available only here!
