When Saruhashi retired from the directorship of the Geochemical Laboratory, her coworkers gave a gift of 5,000,000 yen (about $50,000). She used the money to establish the Saruhashi Prize, given each year since 1981 to a Japanese woman making important contributions to the natural sciences. Its first recipient was population geneticist Tomoko Ohta. Saruhashi said the prize "highlight[s] the capabilities of women scientists…. Each winner has been not only a successful researcher but … a wonderful human being as well."
