Salted Concord - Life of Nichiren

A new flavor created in collaboration with The Met. A sensory interpretation of the famed wood block depicting the Life of Nichiren & his journey on the salty sea into exile on the Island of Sudo. Inspired by this vivid depiction of the bold, wild and salty Japanese sea. We used classically bold concord grapes and traditional Japanese sea salt for a charismatic twist on an iconic jam.

MONK NICHIREN CALMING THE STORM SEA - 1835
As he calms the salty, wild sea the monk Nichiren is iconic. The life of Nichiren, the founder of the sect of Buddhism that bears his name, has inspired legions of his followers to the present day. This print depicts the iconic scene of a the sect's main devotion, the invocation "Praise to the Sutra of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma" in the ocean waves as Nichiren travels to exile on the island of Sado in 1272.

CONCORD GRAPES
Familiar to us all, concord grapes are highly aromatic, tangy, and sweet with a unique musky flavor. Originating from a wild species in New England this grape has quickly rose to prominence for a good reason. Floral and deep purple, there’s nothing like a real concord grape.
JAPANESE SEA SALT
Moshio salt (or Mishio) is a type of Japanese sea salt made using an ancient method where it is collected using dried seaweed. The seaweed lends additional umami flavor to the salt. Japan's climate is too cool and wet to allow production of salt by typical evaporation. Seaweed was historically the main salt making technique used until the 7th century and has experienced a resurgence in the past decades.
CANE SUGAR
A tropical, perennial grass sugar cane is cultivated in the tropics. Raw sugar is extracted from the freshly harvested cane. We use only pure cane sugar processed without bone char to insure quality & that our products stay vegan.
PECTIN
We use pure pectin extracted from the peel of lemon, lime, & oranges. Unlike “normal” pectin our pectin reacts to nutrients in fruit - not sugar. Because there’s no chemical additives or stabilizers our preserves have a naturally soft set.
