ISO Okinawa sea salt

I live in NYC. Have looked all over for this lovely salt to no avail. Large flat crystals that crunch and then disappear. I've only had it at sushi restaurants. Can it be ordered on the internet?

You shouldn't eat grouse and woodcock, venison, a quail and dove pate, abalone and oysters, caviar, calf sweetbreads, kidneys, liver, and ducks all during the same week with several cases of wine. That's a health tip.

You could try Malden sea salt...Williams Sonoma if you dont get anywhere with the Okinowa

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

I love maldens and use it as often as I can. I think I might like this elusive Okinawa salt even better.

What? You don't believe that it's harvested by Okinawans with little tin foil hats that focus the moonbeams through their hands? :laugh:

Ned: Have you tried Mitsuwa yet? They might have it at a not-too-insane price...

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

You can try The Salt Traders as a source. I got some Japanese sea salt Japanese Nazuna sea salt from them some time back, and it sounds a lot like what you describe.

Edited to correct a misspelling and add this info: I don't see a specifically Okinawan salt listed, but I still think the Nazuna salt sounds like much the same thing.
