Korean Solar Sea Salt | Sun-Dried Cheonilyeom | 천일염
Sanwon Mineral Solar Sea Salt is a Korean sun-dried sea salt (cheonilyeom) from Sanwon (갯벌의 미소), harvested on the Sinan tidal flats — a UNESCO-listed coastal wetland in Korea — using only sunlight and sea wind, with nothing refined or added. Sourced by Kosbee.
On the tidal flats of Sinan, Korea, sea water is guided into clay-lined ponds and left to the sun and wind until only salt remains. Sanwon keeps this slow, traditional sun-drying craft, harvesting by hand the way Korean salt farmers have for generations.
Sun-Dried on Korea's Sinan Tidal Flats
Sanwon's salt is made on the Sinan tidal flats, part of a UNESCO-listed coastal reserve, with only sunlight, ocean wind, and the patience of the salt farmer. Because it is sun-dried rather than heavily refined, the crystals keep the rounded, savory character of real Korean sea salt.

Made with Radical Transparency
Sanwon Salt Farm produces this salt in an eco-conscious facility with a real-time viewing system, so the way the salt is made is open to see — from tidal flat to jar.
How to Use It
- Season soups, stews, and sautés as an everyday cooking salt.
- Sprinkle over grilled steak, fresh seafood, or salads as a finishing salt for a satisfying crunch.
- Pinch over warm roasted vegetables or sliced tomatoes, where the warmth melts the crystals into a clean, savory burst.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the jar sealed, and use a dry spoon to avoid moisture. As an unrefined sea salt, occasional trace natural particles may appear — a normal sign of minimal processing.
