Daisho Aji Shio Kosho (Seasoned Salt & Pepper) 135g is the seasoned salt that sits next to the stove in a great many Japanese kitchens — salt, pepper and seasoning blended by Daisho's own method so the balance holds from the first shake to the last, rather than the pepper settling out and leaving you with plain salt at the bottom. One shaker covers both jobs: seasoning food before it goes in the pan, and finishing it at the table.
About Daisho
Daisho Co., Ltd. (株式会社ダイショー) is a Japanese seasoning maker established in December 1966 in Fukuoka — originally as Daisho Foods, set up to make grilled-meat seasoning, and its very first product was a yakiniku sauce called Yakiniku Ichiban. It now works from dual headquarters in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and is known across Japan for yakiniku and steak sauces, seasoned salt-and-pepper, and nabe hot-pot soup bases, under the company motto "creating happiness through deliciousness".
What is shio kosho?
Shio kosho (塩こしょう) simply means "salt and pepper", but in Japan it is sold as a single pre-blended seasoning rather than as two separate grinders. It is the default all-purpose seasoning in a Japanese home kitchen — the thing reached for to season meat and fish before cooking, and to season a stir-fry or a bowl of fried rice as it finishes.
How to use & enjoy
Daisho's own guidance is to use it two ways: for shitaji — seasoning ingredients before they are cooked — and as a finishing seasoning once the dish is done. That covers most of a Japanese kitchen's daily cooking, and the recipes Daisho publishes for it run from spicy pepper rice and drumette karaage to ginger-pork vegetable rolls.
