Description
Oku-Noto (also known as Deep Noto or Northern Noto) is the very northern and therefore deepest (farthest from the main island) part of the Noto Peninsula. The area is known for its salt-making tradition called Agehama (literally "bringing up to the beach"), a UNESCO designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System, where buckets of sea water are brought from the ocean and dried on a salt field. The earliest known record of this salt-making style dates back to 1596 in this area.

Kanazawa Daichi's Oku Noto Sea Salt takes hints from this tradition and utilizes a more modern method of creation in which the seawater from Oku-Noto is steam-concentrated at low temperature (40-50 degrees Celsius) over a long period of time until crystallization.
