Ishimago has been brewing soy sauce since 1855, and their experience shows in the exquisitely crafted sauces they produce.
Their soy sauces are aged in wooden barrels, in wooden buildings, with each pillar and beam housing unique strains of yeast and living fermentation bacteria which gives their soy sauce flavor profiles that can't be replicated by anyone else.
They use local ingredients and traditional methods to make quality shoyu soy sauce by hand, before aging it for 2+ years.
This product is a Saishikomi Shoyu, or twice-brewed soy sauce, which gets its name from the process in which traditionally brewed soy sauce is taken, mixed again with local wheat and soybeans, and brewed again.
The multi-year brewing process, followed by a two-year aging process, ensures this soy sauce has an exceptionally rich taste that pairs well with sashimi, beef, and other flavorful foods.
