Mirror of the Sky: Salt of Uyuni

Salt from the Uyuni Salt Flats is unrefined, 100% natural salt that is simply crushed salt from the salt flats. Its distinctive feature is its straightforward saltiness that brings out the flavor of the ingredients. Its saltiness brings out the flavor of the ingredients without adding any unnecessary flavors to the dish. However, unlike rock salt, salt from the Uyuni Salt Flats has rare pyramidal crystals, and its shape gives it a subtle "mellowness." In Japan, it was featured in a newspaper as a chef's choice salt that goes well with "onigiri" (rice balls). We also recommend using it in conjunction with Camargue salt, which gives ingredients a "mellow taste."

The Uyuni Salt Flats is a vast salt lake located at an altitude of about 3,700m on the Altiplano (a high, flat plateau area) surrounded by the Andes Mountains in central-western Bolivia, stretching approximately 100km north to south and 250km east to west, with an area of ​​approximately 10,582km2.
This land was formed when an ancient ocean rose 1.8 million years ago, and is the flattest land in the world, with an elevation difference of just 50cm.
Looking around from the center of Shiobara, you will see a pure white plain as far as the eye can see, and the cold climate will give you the illusion of being in the middle of a snowy field.
