08. Nihonichi Soy Sauce, Two-Stage Preparation, 100ml

A soy sauce brewery with over 220 years of history

It is not uncommon for soy sauce breweries to be over 100 years old, but breweries that are over 200 years old are quite rare. The factory underwent a major renovation in 2017. The raw material processing and pressing processes are now kept clean and well-managed in line with modern hygiene standards, but the pillars and beams remain the same as they were in the past.

Of course, the wooden barrels are still the same as they were made between the Meiji and early Showa periods, and the fermentation process is still the same, with natural fermentation. The fermentation process is carried out according to the natural climate and seasonal temperature changes, allowing tradition and modernity to coexist on the premises.

Re-brewed soy sauce made with organic domestic ingredients

Nihonichi Shoyu Nidan-shu-komi is an organic soy sauce certified by OCIA Japan, the Japanese Agricultural Standards Registration and Certification Agency, and is made from 100% domestically produced organic soybeans and organic wheat. The first pressed kiage is made from domestically produced organic whole soybeans and wheat, which are fermented and matured, and the same koji is added again to the resulting organic re-brewed soy sauce, which is fermented and matured for two years, allowing you to enjoy the luxurious umami and rich flavor that comes from twice the usual amount of ingredients and time.

Rich re-brewed soy sauce goes well with meat dishes

Among the re-brewed soy sauces, Nihonichi Soy Sauce, which is especially rich in flavor, is a perfect match for meat. For beef bowls, pork bowls, and chicken bowls. For stews, you can make it with regular soy sauce and add a small amount at the end to enhance the flavor. Let the flavor soak in thoroughly and enjoy the harmony of the flavor of the meat and soy sauce.

Make your everyday sashimi and sushi a little more luxurious

If you are using it as soy sauce to pour over oily or red fish, it is recommended. Try it out with sashimi or sushi that you usually buy at the supermarket. It has a rich yet mellow flavor with a well-rounded saltiness, which brings out the umami of oily fish.
