<upd_refs>not listed as such in daij etc. - but in the daijs 五味 
entry:
"１ 5種の味覚。物の味の5種。甘さ・酸(す)っぱさ・辛(から)さ・苦(にが)さ・鹹(し
おから)さ。２ "  (daijr: "甘い・辛い・苦い・酸っぱい・塩辛いの五種の味。")
_
wiki 鹹い redirs to 塩味 and has this in the text:
"東日本では、一般的に「しょっぱい」と表現をするが、西日本では「塩辛い（鹹い：
しおからい）」あるいは単に「辛い」と表している"
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A1%A9%E5%91%B3
_
daijr also has an entry for 鹹い しおはゆ・い (given as 鹹映ゆい 
in daijs and 鹹映・塩映 in nikk): " 「しおばゆい」とも。中世・近世語
しおからい。しょっぱい。"</upd_refs>
