## Description

Review: A Symphony of Flavor in Every Drop - Kishibori Shoyu has elevated my culinary experiences with its exceptional quality and depth of flavor. This premium artisanal Japanese soy sauce truly deserves high praise. The first thing to note is the complexity of its flavor profile. Unlike regular soy sauces, Kishibori Shoyu offers a symphony of tastes – it's not just salty but also carries subtle hints of umami, a slight sweetness, and a deep richness that can only be found in meticulously crafted sauces. Each drop enhances the dish, whether it's used in marinades, as a dipping sauce, or simply drizzled over rice. The aroma of Kishibori Shoyu is another aspect that sets it apart. It has a distinct, inviting scent that heightens the anticipation of the meal. This soy sauce doesn't overpower; it complements and elevates the flavors of various ingredients, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen. I appreciate the commitment to traditional brewing methods, which is evident in the quality of the product. The soy sauce is fermented and aged in barrels, a process that contributes to its unique taste and quality. Knowing that such care and tradition go into making this soy sauce adds an element of specialness to every use. Moreover, its all-natural ingredients and no additives make it a healthier choice. It's a product that tastes good and aligns with a health-conscious lifestyle. TL;DR: Kishibori Shoyu is a premium, artisanal Japanese soy sauce that transforms ordinary dishes into extraordinary culinary creations. Its complex flavor, aromatic profile, and traditional brewing methods make it a must-have for anyone looking to add a touch of gourmet to their cooking.
Review: This is the "real" soy sauce you're hoping for - Any argument anybody has about this soy sauce would be simple preference- as this is most certainly the "good stuff" - and nobody would argue that. There ARE different styles but for a good general versatile soy sauce that you want to be able to add to dishes without any odd tastes or it being the "wrong thing" especially for japanese cooking (Note: there are diff types of soy sauce so make sure this is the style your recipe is calling for) this is going to give you the flavor "as intended". A very good sauce overall. You pay for it but I mean... have you seen prices IN GENERAL recently? Its worth the money if you care.

## Features

- This koikuchi soy sauce is made from selected whole soybeans, wheat, and sun-dried salt, naturally brewed for over a year in cedar vats, and pressed directly from the mash.
- In soy sauce breweries, the koji mold that grows soy sauce lives for decades, creating a flavor that is unique to that brewery. The soy sauce is aged for more than one year to produce a rich, thick "hishio moromi" that is full of umami ingredients and has the richness and depth that only naturally brewed soy sauce can have.
- Kishibori Soy Sauce is made by pressing the mash slowly matured in wooden barrels on Shodoshima island of Japan with mild climate.
- The keys to Kishibori Soy Sauce are to use no artificial preservatives or sweeteners, to age soy sauce in the traditional way in wooden barrels, and to carefully pack each bottle in a special wrapping paper. The special flavor of this freshly pressed soy sauce is expressed in its full-bodied taste, beautiful color, and rich aroma.
- Enjoy its delicate flavor on its own. Or you can also enjoy its enhanced roasty aroma by pouring the sauce over grilled beef or chicken, or using it on fish or fried rice dishes.
- Best By date printed on package (MM.DD.YYYY) Shelf Life: 425 days

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be diluted with water to make a shoyu ramen broth**
A: This would be one ingredient in your broth but it cannot simply be diluted. Traditional shoyu ramen broth is a labor of love and is best done over a weekend (this is a traditional style of making it) as there are quicker ways. A website such as www.wokandskillet.com has a good one.

**Q: Is there an expiration date?**
A: Yes.  My current bottle is Jan. 2020.  However, the label suggests keeping it in the refrigerator (I do), and using it as soon as possible after opening.

**Q: Is this product 100% organic (not just non-gmo)?**
A: No. This is great, refined shoyu, but not organic. Try Ohsawa Nama Shoyu on Amazon, it is of comparable quality AND organic. FYI they are both salty, as are all high quality shoyus. Ohsawa claims only 720mg/TBSP, but it seems like a translation/typo error; TBSP should probably be tsp, which is one-third of a TBSP. Kishibori states 870mg/tsp, which seems right (and equals about 2610mg/TBSP!). Ohsawa is probably about the same, but it is also organic. And no, I have no connection to the Ohsawa company, I enjoy both shoyus and bought it only when Kishibori was not available.

**Q: How long will a bottle last once opened? The bottle notes say to "use as soon as possible" as the soy doesn't contain preservatives**
A: It's soy sauce, full of salt. It's unusually good soy sauce but still soy sauce. Mould and bacteria are not happy in such a salty environment. I opened mine months ago, kept it in a kitchen cupboard, and it still seems just as good recently. I expect it's in any producer's interest to insist that their product must be consumed as fast as possible! ; )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the only soy sauce that I want to use at home
*by A***Y on May 4, 2025*

What else can be said about this brand that hasn't been said here, this is a premium quality soy sauce. I was looking for a traditional Japanese soy sauce when I found this one. I didn't want one that were brewed in the US as there are just some things that I feel need to be traditionally made. And I don't mind paying extra for those types of things. I thoroughly enjoy the taste and use it just about every day. It's got a great Umami flavor slightly with mushrooms and I just absolutely love it.
