YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Soy Sauce – Artisanal 500 Days Aged, Made in Japan

Discover YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Soy Sauce

From Tatsuno, Japan, this artisanal koikuchi shoyu is crafted by hand and slowly aged for more than 500 days. The resulting liquid is dark and glossy, releasing a rich aroma and a smooth, refined finish that can enrich a wide range of dishes.

Why it stands out

The sauce balances four core sensations—umami, gentle sweetness, tangy acidity, and a whisper of bitterness—creating depth that supports rather than overpowers ingredients. Whether it’s used as a marinade, a glaze, or a simmering base, the flavor profile helps ingredients speak for themselves.

• Premium Japanese aging: 500+ days through six seasons for depth and nuance.
• Masterfully balanced flavor: umami, sweetness, sourness, and subtle bitterness in harmony.
• Traditional craftsmanship: small-batch, sensory-guided techniques refined over generations.
• Non-GMO and natural ingredients: soybeans and wheat from trusted sources, precise sea salt, and soft river water.
• Heritage brewing: Tatsuno, a historic hub for soy sauce with centuries of know-how.
• Traditional sensory checks: flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance guided every step.
