When we first tried this smoked shoyu, we were stunned at how refined it tasted. Counterbalancing Yugeta-san’s smoked soy sauce, which has an intense smoke flavor, Suehiro’s version, made with Koikuchi (dark) soy sauce, offers a gentle smoke flavor from a mixture of beech and oak wood. The result is very light smoke flavor flanked by wonderful notes of umami, soy and caramel. This unique condiment is great for adding subtle smoke flavor in dressings, sauces, broths, etc. Whenever you want to add a lightly smoky shoyu to a dish, this is your soy sauce!
Produced from only Japanese-grown soybeans, wheat and natural sea salt.

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.
