93. Sashimi soy sauce 100ml (Kubo Brewery)

For those looking for sweet soy sauce unique to Kagoshima

Many customers ask, "Do you have sweet Kyushu soy sauce?", and we recommend this to those who say, "I just want something sweet and thick." Those who try it for the first time may be surprised by the sweetness, but the taste is addictive and many customers come back for more!

Made by a soy sauce brewery with roots in vinegar production

Located in the center of the Osumi Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kubo Brewery is affectionately known as Yamakyu. Its roots lie in vinegar brewing, and it continues to make vinegar using static fermentation to this day. They have a diverse product lineup, including sweet soy sauce and barley miso, which are particularly sweet in Kyushu, as well as vinegar derivatives such as sanbaizu and sauces.

"Sashimi soy sauce" perfected by the second generation

"I'm the fourth generation. The first generation started out by selling brewed vinegar by weight, and then moved on to making and selling soy sauce, miso, and sauces. The 'Sashimi Soy Sauce' perfected by the second generation is thought to have a sweet taste, especially to people from outside the prefecture," says fourth-generation owner Kubo Shinichiro.

The sashimi soy sauce, made by adding re-brewed soy sauce to the usual dark soy sauce, is the most popular soy sauce from Kubo Brewery, and has been loved for a long time since the Showa era.

Serve on sashimi, cold tofu, or rice with raw egg.

As the name suggests, the majority of customers say they use it on sashimi. For those who like it, the combination of sweet soy sauce and sashimi is irresistible. If you use it as a soy sauce for pouring, try pouring it over cold tofu, rice with raw egg, grilled mochi, and more. You may become addicted to the rich, sweet soy sauce.

Being from the Kanto region, I like to use it in stews.

Actually, I'm from the Kanto region and I don't like sweet soy sauce with sashimi, so I often use sashimi soy sauce for simmered dishes. Sashimi soy sauce is particularly sweet among sweet soy sauces, but when used with simmered dishes, it has a "good sweetness" and makes it easy to decide the flavor. Add sweetness with sugar or mirin to taste and it is recommended for meat and potatoes and braised pork.
