Product Information

About

TWO JAPANESE SOY SAUCE STYLES – Includes Traditional Shoyu and wheat-free Tamari, giving home cooks two distinct ways to add savory umami flavor. Choose between classic Japanese shoyu or a gluten-free alternative for dipping, seasoning, and everyday recipes.
CEDAR KIOKE BARREL AGED – Both sauces are crafted and aged in Japan using traditional cedar kioke barrels. Slow fermentation develops layered umami character, aroma, and complexity that bring distinctive Japanese flavor to sushi, rice, noodles, tofu, and vegetables.
GLUTEN-FREE TAMARI OPTION – Tamari is brewed without wheat, making it a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat-containing shoyu. Its rich, full-bodied character works especially well for sushi dipping, tofu, marinades, stir fry dishes, and salad dressings.
SMALL-BATCH JAPANESE CRAFTSMANSHIP – Brewed in limited quantities using carefully selected ingredients and time-honored fermentation methods. Both Non-GMO, vegan sauces contain no preservatives, MSG, or artificial colors for a thoughtfully crafted pantry pairing.
VERSATILE DUO FOR COOKING & DIPPING – Reach for Traditional Shoyu when a recipe calls for classic Japanese soy sauce flavor or choose Tamari for a wheat-free option with deep savory character. Use across dumplings, rice bowls, noodles, soups, marinades, dressings, and dipping sauces.
