My scene shows the process of taking seaweed from the ocean, burning/heating the seaweed, putting it in water and boiling it until all that’s left is sea salt. My mother works in this factory. This process of making sea salt originated in Kamagari, Hiroshima. There is much pride and value attached to the people in the factory who process the sea salt.
Likes: playing cards and Mexican flan. Dislikes: spicy foods. I want to be a baker in the future.
