Adjacent to a salt factory on Miyakojima, the Yukishio Museum is a shop and museum dedicated to the island's specialty product "Yukishio (Snow Salt)." This salt is unique because its production method retains the nigari component, usually removed, resulting in a product containing 14 types of seawater-derived components. Its fine, snow-like particles are a standout feature, making it a popular souvenir, particularly for its beauty benefits.
The Yukishio Museum was born as a facility where visitors can learn about the production, usage, and flavors of Yukishio in an enjoyable way. Entry to the museum is free, allowing for casual visits. The attached shop sells not only the main Yukishio product but also related items like Yukishio Baumkuchen and Yukishio Mineral Home Spa, including exclusive factory-only products.
There's also a café lounge in the facility, offering soft ice cream, drinks, and more. The popular Yukishio Soft Cream, with its sweet and salty, rich flavor, is a must-try. For an added twist, try sprinkling the Yukishio mixed with ingredients like hibiscus or island chili pepper.
