✓ASTONISHINGLY SMOKY FLAVOR – NATURALLY CRAFTED SMOKED SOY SAUCE - Our smoked soy sauce delivers a rich, aromatic flavor without the use of artificial smoke or chemicals. We slow-smoke authentic Koikuchi soy sauce, also known as classic soy sauce or dark soy sauce, for 8–9 hours. In our Smoked Soy Sauce, we use a carefully selected blend of oak, beech, and Sakura woods. This created a perfect blend to create an irresistibly deep and balanced smoky aroma. A single drop of smoked soy sauce can elevate dishes with a savory, elegant finish. It is especially delicious when paired with olive oil, grilled foods, creamy cheeses, and charcuterie boards.
✓WHY OUR SMOKED SHOYU IS AUTHENTIC - Our Smoked Kunsei Soy Sauce is a true artisan soy sauce. It has been crafted using simple and natural ingredients and has been brewed without the use of any artificial or chemical additives. It has been slowly and naturally aged through six seasons (over 500 days), using natural fermentation of momori and koji to develop a layered palette of umami, depth, and aroma that is impossible to replicate. Experience the flavor transformation of smoked shoyu soy sauce that has been matured through time, nature, and craftsmanship.
✓ARTISANAL, NATURAL & AUTHENTIC HANDMADE SHOYU - Our smoked shoyu is created by experienced Japanese craftsmen who follow traditional techniques which have been passed down for over 100 years, and through generations of families. The making process of our Kunsei shoyu is one that is labor-intensive and authentic, which cannot be reproduced by modern techniques. The brewing of the smoked soy sauce evolves with both climate and geography, and therefore, it requires both knowledge and skill honed into the senses that monitor and perfect it at every stage.
✓NON-GMO & NATURAL INGREDIENTS – Our premium shoyu sauce is made with carefully selected Japanese whole soybeans and Non-GMO wheat. The smoked shoyu also uses 100% sun-dried sea salt, ensuring classic and authentic saltiness, as well as ultra-soft natural water taken from the Ibo River, Tatsuno. This unique yet significant attention to the quality of the ingredients creates a clean, additive-free soy sauce, providing premium and luxury in every bottle.
✓HERITAGE BREWED IN TATSUNO, JAPAN – Our Koikuchi soy sauce has been carefully brewed in the historic town of Tatsuno. Tatsuno is a renowned hub of traditional Japanese soy sauce brewing for over 400 years. This is due to the area having an ideal climate, as well as having a pure water source in the Ibo River. The history and culture of the Tatsuno region make it a historical and cultural hub of soy sauce makers in Japan. The area is also home to skilled local craftsmen, who are using techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, resulting in making this smoked soy sauce one of Japan’s most celebrated condiments.
