Actually, I think salt is added to many brands of Shao Xing in the USA so that it can be sold as not an alcoholic beverage and avoid alcohol tax and regulations. If you look at ingredients lists and labels, you’ll often see salt listed and verbiage about it being for cooking and not for use a beverage. The same if true for many brands of Mirin which can also be hard to find unsalted.
