78. Yamashin White Soy Sauce 100ml

White soy sauce from a long-established company with over 200 years of history, brewed in wooden barrels

Many people may not be familiar with white soy sauce, but it is an even lighter amber color than light soy sauce, and is second to none when it comes to making the most of the colors of fresh ingredients. White soy sauce is made with a ratio of 90 parts wheat to 1 part soybeans, and is characterized by its low soy sauce flavor and high sugar content.

Yamashin Shiro Soy Sauce is made by extracting the liquid that has accumulated in a barrel through a plug called a "nomiguchi" that is attached to a hole in the bottom of a barrel called a "kibiki," then adding 100% of the amount of salt water to the koji that remains from the kibiki and leaving it for a further three months. The resulting liquid is then pressed together with the moromi, which becomes the second pressing. The first kibiki and second pressed soy sauce are then blended before being bottled.

Make your own dressing

Recommended for those who eat salads every day for health reasons. Homemade dressing can be easily made by mixing soy sauce, oil, and vinegar in a 1:1:1 ratio. If you make the dressing with white soy sauce, it will have a light and refreshing French dressing-like taste. It will bring out the sweetness of the vegetables. If you change it to sesame oil or olive oil, the taste will change again, making it fun to make dressing every day.

If you want to take it up a notch, how about a fruit mix dressing? Just mix olive oil with the basic ingredients plus 4 grapes, lemon juice, and a little honey. The soy sauce has a subtle aroma, so you can really enjoy the fruity aroma of this dressing.

The color of the cooked rice is also beautiful.

White soy sauce is great for rice dishes where you want to make the most of the color of the ingredients, such as chestnut rice, edamame rice, and corn rice! The moderate saltiness brings out the sweetness of the ingredients. Please enjoy colorful rice with seasonal ingredients.

A light sweet and spicy flavor that goes well with rice

I want a Japanese-style sweet and spicy flavor, but I want to make the most of the color and flavor of the ingredients. White soy sauce is useful in such situations. Kinpira celery finished with white soy sauce retains its beautiful yellow-green color and becomes a side dish that goes well with rice. Even if you don't like celery in salads or soups, please give it a try.
