As a special edition of "Today's Item," a series introducing products recommended by our editorial staff every day, we are introducing "Tokyo souvenirs" selected by people in the fashion and beauty industry, running until July 31st. This is the season when many people bring gifts for seasonal greetings or when returning home. If you're having trouble deciding what to bring, check out this list of top products that have been given the stamp of approval by connoisseurs.

Today, freelance editor and writer Tokiko Nita recommends the S/S/A/W "Cleopatra Salt." Nita explains the reason for her selection, saying, "Takahashi Yoshiko is a chef who is in high demand in the food and apparel industries right now. This salt was created with Cleopatra in mind, and it makes the perfect souvenir for anyone who loves cooking." "When I first saw it, I was amazed at the beauty of the green and yellow spices visible through the container. I was amazed at the beauty of such a beautiful condiment! Opening the lid, the rich aroma of saffron wafted into the air. Just the aroma itself whetted my appetite," she said of its appeal. The miraculous royal spice, saffron, is the star of the show, complemented by the finest capers and nutmeg from Pantelleria, a secret ingredient of nigella, and emerald-green raisins, creating a rich flavor. She also shared tips for enjoying it at your everyday dinner table, saying, "In my home, I deep-fry or tempura vegetables and sprinkle this condiment on them. Simply pouring it on transforms them into an exotic dish, so I highly recommend it for midsummer cooking. It also pairs well with beer or white wine. It would also go well with ice-cold sake." It's also being sold exclusively at the "Cleopatra and the Queens of Egypt" exhibition currently being held at the Tokyo National Museum. The rarity of these limited edition seasonings, which are not sure whether they will be available in the future, is also a point that makes them a welcome gift for the recipient.
