Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats? cereal is low in sodium (only 5 mg per 1-oz. serving) and is readily available in grocery stores...

With a diet based largely on fish, pickled vegetables and soy sauce (1,029 mg sodium per tablespoon), the average Japanese citizen consumes nearly three teaspoons of salt a day. In the northern agricultural provinces, where salt is still widely used as a preservative, six teaspoons or more a day is not uncommon. And what is probably the highest sodium diet in the world coincides with what seems to be the world's highest rate...
