Salt and Hishio

Before soy sauce became a preferred seasoning in Japan, there was salt.

One of the original sources of salt in Japan was from animals’ intestines. Another was salt drawn for the sea. However, it was scarce and did not keep for long, so sea salt was commonly mixed with something else that could prolong its shelf life.
