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.
Kishibori Soy Sauce is made by pressing the mash slowly matured in wooden barrels on Shodoshima island of Japan with mild climate.
In soy sauce production facilities, the koji mold essential for the fermentation of soy sauce can thrive for many years, resulting in a distinct flavor profile specific to each brewery. The soy sauce undergoes an aging process that lasts over a year, leading to a robust and concentrated "hishio moromi" teeming with umami flavors and possessing a richness and complexity found exclusively in traditionally brewed soy sauce.
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.
