TAKESAN KISHIBORI SOY SAUCE by KISHIBORISHOYU — Original, 1 Year Barrel-Aged, 24 Fl oz

Pure Artisan Japanese Soy Sauce with Timeless Craft

TAKESAN KISHIBORI SOY SAUCE from KISHIBORISHOYU is a celebration of traditional fermentation. Each batch begins with carefully chosen whole soybeans and wheat, combined with sun-dried salt, then naturally brewed for more than a year in cedar vats on Shodoshima. The result is a thick, amber moromi pressed directly from the mash, offering a restrained sweetness, a rich roasty aroma, and a depth that only long fermentation can deliver. This soy sauce is produced without artificial preservatives or sweeteners, honoring a method that highlights the ingredients and the climate that nourishes them.

Origin, Process, and Character

The cedar vats impart a subtle woody backbone, while the natural brew yields a multi-layered aroma and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Expect a color that hints at its depth and a fragrance that mingles roasted notes with grainy sweetness.
