Nigari: the Bitter Liquor Left When Sea Salt Crystallises

Boil seawater down and common salt crystallises first; what stays behind is a bitter liquor, mostly magnesium chloride. Salt makers called it bittern and kept it out of the salt, Andrew Ure (1839) notes, because it spoils it. In Japan it is nigari, from the word for bitter, and it is what sets soy milk into tofu.

Boil the seawater down

Boil clean seawater in an iron kettle over a wood fire, topping it up, until salt crystals start to form on the surface and fall.

Rake out the salt

Keep it simmering and scoop the salt out as it crystallises into a draining basket over a bowl. Stop before the pan runs dry: the last liquor is the bittern.

Collect the drips

Let the salt drain for a day or two. Pour what drips into the bowl together with the liquor left in the kettle: that is nigari.

Bottle it

Keep the liquid nigari in a stoppered bottle. It is very bitter; it is a coagulant, not a seasoning.
