A salt-free table
that still satisfies.

“I cut the salt and the food went flat.” What is missing there may not be salt but scent. Instead of deciding the flavour with salt, fill the plate with aroma. This is the approach Inspice, an aromatics brand from Kanazawa, works with — alongside Dish, our salt-free all-purpose seasoning.

The short version.
  • What feels missing when you cut salt can be made up with scent. A final pinch is enough for the outline of saltiness.
  • Dish is salt-free, additive-free and 100% plant-based. Finish with it, toss with it, coat with it — it minds no method.
  • Start with one shake on the morning egg. Add it to what you already eat, and cutting back stops being subtraction and becomes addition.

Idea

Do not decide with salt. Fill with scent.

Salt is not the only thing that makes food taste good. Toastiness, savour, the finish — the scent that passes through the nose carries most of what we remember as flavour. So cutting salt does not thin a plate, as long as the scent stands. If anything the ingredients come out clearer, and you want it again the next day.

Dish is that idea put into a bottle. Pepper Caviar, maqaw, highland red sanshō — a bundle of scent composed to hundredths of a gram, making a full flavour that does not lean on salt. Add a pinch of salt at the end and even the outline becomes a feast.

If you have been given medical advice on salt intake, please follow your doctor or dietitian rather than this page.

Six verbs, and that is the method.

There are no rules. Start with one shake on today's plate.

TossOn rice, egg, salad. With no heat applied, the scent comes up at its most honest. CoatAs a marinade for meat or fish. The moment it hits heat, the scent rises from inside. Simmer and steamPartway through a soup or braise. Put the scent through heat, and depth appears. Grill and fryIt meets the oil, and the toastiness spreads. FinishOne last shake over the finished plate — when the scent stands tallest. Dissolve and knead inInto a dressing or a dough. How you use it is up to you.

FlareLine — heat, also salt-free, additive-free and 100% plant-based.

Hot food is usually salty food. All five FlareLines are salt-free, additive-free and 100% plant-based: a quiet heat built with habanero as a fuse, over citrus, herbs, and the savour of shiitake and kombu. Sharpness and character, for a table that is cutting salt.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is there really no salt in it?
All five Dish blends are salt-free, additive-free and 100% plant-based. Elsewhere in the range, chai and the cocoa do use a pinch of rock salt to draw the taste together. It is the Dish line that carries no salt.
Should I avoid salt entirely?
No. What we suggest is to fill the plate with scent and use a little salt only for the final outline. Dish plus a pinch of salt turns the usual plate into a feast.
Where should I start?
A light shake of No.1 over scrambled eggs in the morning. A smoky toastiness, and it becomes a café plate. The ¥980 powder pouch is the easiest way in.
Can I use it in food the whole family eats?
None of No.1 to No.5 uses hot chilli. Use it on the family's plate as it is.
