I'm looking for interesting producers that are minimally processed and lower in sodium. I live on the Peninsula so stores located anywhere from South San Francisco to Palo Alto are my preference, however, if it's truly outstanding I will travel. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Sorry, do not remember the brand name, but the logo appears to be a rising sun. Tried many other brands, but not as satisfying...
