Usukuchi (light colored) shoyu is not your typical soy sauce, meaning this is not the one you use for dipping your sushi into. This style of shoyu is a seasoning and is made for cooking. Think of it like you would salt.
This wonderful light bodied brew from Suehiro has a complex aroma of fruity umami and the taste is much of the same with a slightly caramel umami. Produced from only Japanese-grown soybeans, wheat and natural sea salt. Use this to season soups, simmered dishes, etc.
Please refrigerate after opening.

Made by Suehiro
Located in Tatsuno City, Suehiro Shoyu has been using traditional methods to brew usukuchi (light colored) soy sauce since 1879. They use soy and wheat grown in Japan. They brew in small batches.
While they age their soy sauce in fiberglass tanks, the building housing the tanks is made of wood. That's where their specific strains of beneficial bacteria live, giving their soy sauce its unique taste.
