Aguni salt, which I’ve been using for over 20 years, is made on a small island that you can reach by flight from Okinawa’s main island. It’s made from 100% seawater surrounding Aguni Island. Rich in flavour, it enhances the natural umami of ingredients.

This nikomi is another incredibly tasty pork dish from my absolute favorite izakaya. Different parts of pork are simmered in a soy sauce-based broth in a big hot pot. Under all the pork, you’ll find tofu that’s been quickly simmered and has soaked up all the flavour. I always order a boiled egg as a topping- it’s cooked in the same pot and tastes amazing. On top, there’s chunky chopped leek, Japanese mustard, and I usually sprinkle some shichimi, a Japanese chilli spice. The umami is deep, and the flavour and texture are rich and complex. Honestly, it’s hard to describe just how good it is- but one thing’s for sure: it goes perfectly with a beer!
