Aromatic salt making experience

This is a plan to make your original aroma salt using herbs from Ikaruga.

Aroma salt is made by filling herbs and salt in a bottle and adding a scent.
The herbs and salt are layered alternately, so as you look from the side of the bottle, the layer is so beautiful.

Fragrance is not as strong as ordinary air freshener. It is recommended for those who want to enjoy a natural scent.
You can also use it as an interior decoration.
It's suitable for souvenir or present for your friends or loved one☆

Any tools and fire are not used to make it so feel free to join with your children.
Why don't you try this if you live in Japan? :)
※Depending on the country, it may be prohibited to bring it back or inspection may be required.
