DOSHISHA Launches Large-Bag Salt Recovery Candy for Summer Heat Measures

DOSHISHA Corporation, which plans, develops and sells lifestyle-related products, has expanded its heat countermeasure product lineup, the “Salt Recovery” series, with the launch of “Salt Recovery Large-Bag Candy.” The product went on sale at retailers across Japan in late April 2026. As the number of extremely hot days increases, interest in heat countermeasures is growing. Demand is especially rising for easy, continuous salt replenishment in everyday situations such as outdoor activities, commuting to work or school, and office environments. DOSHISHA has previously offered edible “Salt Recovery Petit Jelly” and drinkable “Salt Recovery Drink Potion Type” products. The newly launched “Salt Recovery Large-Bag Candy” was developed as a new option for casual, on-the-go heat countermeasures, allowing users to replenish both salt and citric acid at the same time. Individually wrapped pieces make it easy to carry and use while out, at work, or when sharing with family or coworkers. Each large 500g bag contains about 135 candies, making it suitable for daily use and stocking up as a new staple item for getting through hot summers. Key features include replenishment of both salt, which is easily lost through sweat, and citric acid; easy intake during work, commuting, school, or outdoor tasks; and a 500g large-capacity format suitable for families, workplaces, and club activities. The stand-up package can remain upright on its own, allowing people to take candies freely during breaks. The candy comes in three flavors: refreshing salt lemon, cooling salt cider, and plum salt with balanced acidity and richness. It uses “Aoi Umi,” a flavorful sea salt made only from Okinawan seawater, giving the candy a gentle saltiness and subtle sweetness that makes it easy to enjoy every day. The lineup includes salt lemon, salt cider, and plum salt flavors. Each contains 500g and has a suggested retail price of 1,242 yen including tax.
