Ingredients and Brewing Process
The quality of Fundokin Yoshinosugi Naturally Barrel-Brewed Soy Sauce is rooted in its carefully selected ingredients and traditional brewing methods. The soy sauce is made from:
-
Domestic Marudai Soybeans: These whole soybeans are chosen for their superior quality and flavor.
-
Domestic Wheat: Contributes to the soy sauce's unique taste and aroma.
-
Sun-dried Salt: Adds a natural and balanced salinity that enhances the overall flavor profile.
The brewing process involves a slow and deliberate fermentation and maturation period of over a year. This natural brewing process takes place in wooden barrels made from Yoshino cedar, a type of wood known for its excellent preservative qualities and ability to impart a subtle, natural aroma to the soy sauce. The temperature is not artificially controlled, allowing the fermentation to proceed at its own pace, which results in a richly flavored and naturally brewed soy sauce.

The slow fermentation process produces a depth of umami that is both savory and slightly sweet, without a pronounced salty taste. The soy sauce has a clear reddish-brown color and a rich aroma that enhances any dish it accompanies. This balanced flavor profile makes it a versatile addition to various culinary applications.
