Salt granule toothpaste in a standing tube — invigorating deep clean with large salt granules.
About this product
A distinctive Japanese salt-based toothpaste — KAO's Tsubu Shio (Salt Granule Toothpaste) combines large spherical salt granules with cleaning agents to deliver a uniquely invigorating cleaning experience. The salt granules dissolve during brushing while the fine texture lightly polishes tooth surfaces to remove surface staining. The standing tube format makes it easy to dispense the last drop without squeezing from the bottom. This is a distinctly Japanese approach to oral care — the sharp, refreshing mineral taste signals a deep clean and has a loyal following among consumers who find mint-heavy toothpastes overpowering. A substantial 180g size for extended household use.
How to use
- Squeeze a pea-to-ribbon sized amount of paste onto a wet toothbrush.
- Begin brushing with gentle circular motions along the gum line — the salt granules will dissolve within the first 20–30 seconds of brushing.
- Brush all tooth surfaces — outer, inner, and biting surfaces — for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- Spit out the paste thoroughly; do not swallow.
- Rinse mouth thoroughly with water; use twice daily for best results.

FAQ
Is this safe for children?
Recommended for adults and children old enough not to swallow — keep out of reach of young children; consult a dentist for use by children under 6.
Will the salt granules scratch enamel?
No — the granules are designed to dissolve quickly; abrasion is similar to standard toothpaste.
Does it contain fluoride?
Yes — it contains sodium monofluorophosphate (fluoride).
Can it be used with an electric toothbrush?
Yes, fully compatible.
Is the taste very salty?
Mild salt flavour — noticeably different from mint but not unpleasantly strong.
🇺🇸 For US customers
For American shoppers who value well-made toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash, Japanese oral care products deliver a different level of attention, and American consumers have strong cultural expectations around oral hygiene and fresh breath — from office workers in BPO centres to teachers facing classrooms full of students — and KAO Tsubu Shio delivers a uniquely thorough clean that mass-market American toothpastes don't match.
This salt granule toothpaste combines large spherical salt granules, which dissolve during brushing, with cleaning agents that lightly polish away surface staining — a distinctly Japanese take on a thorough daily clean.
