07. Nihonichi Soy Sauce Ichiban Shibori 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.

Soy sauce worthy of the title "Japan's No. 1"

This organic soy sauce is certified by OCIA Japan, the Japanese Agricultural Standards Registration and Certification Agency, and is made 100% from organic soybeans and wheat from Hokkaido, which are said to be as precious as diamonds due to the extremely low domestic production. It has a rich flavor, and the first impression is that it has a strong, robust taste, but once you taste it, you will find it has a mellow taste with a mellow saltiness.

For simmered or fried dishes

Nihonichi Shoyu Ichiban Shibori is a slightly richer flavor that is recommended for adding to stews and stir-fries. Add a splash of soy sauce to finish off a stir-fry. The aroma of the heated soy sauce and the umami flavor that combines with the oil will soak into the ingredients.

Pudding with soy sauce and sea urchin flavor?!

If you pour soy sauce on pudding, it turns into sea urchin. I'm sure many of you have heard this story. If you've tried it with regular soy sauce but it didn't taste like it at all, we recommend you try Nihonichi Shoyu Ichiban Shibori.

If you add the caramelized parts, soy sauce and wasabi, and mix well, you'll get a rich sea urchin flavor! Please give it a try!
