The Yamaroku Tsurubishio Shoyu is a premium Japanese barrel-aged soy sauce made of high quality natural ingredients and by following traditional techniques.
Tsurubishio Shoyu has dark, almost black color, very rich and strong scent, and mellow taste.
The soy sauce is aged in large wooden barrels which have been used for over 150 years since the foundation of Yamaroku. The passage of time makes the lactic acid bacteria and yeasts settle tightly inside the barrels, giving the soy sauce a distinctive flavor and taste.
What makes this soy sauce different from the others is Yamaroku's "re-preparation method". While conventional soy sauces are sold into market after 2-years-fermentation, Yamaroku once extracts the soy sauce from the barrel, puts it into the barrel again, and ferments it for another 2 years. This makes the flavor very rich and full.
Close the bottle cap tightly once opened, and store it in a cool and dark place. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.

Tasting this beautiful sauce right out of the bottle brings me to a place where the care and craft leaves the taste of Japan right on the tip of my tongue! Thank you to all the craftsman that brought it into my home.
- PSPaul S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/5/25Probably the best soy sauce I've ever had
It has a nice strong soy flavor, very balanced. I end up using less soy sauce than I would usually need. Bottle arrived cracked but with a large ammount of padding, so I'll blame the shippers. Beautiful bottle but unfortunately not able to use it, got around 85% of the sauce transfered to another glass bottle.

Thus soy sauce has changed the game for me. The flavor is rich and has a hint of natural sweetness. I have used this in everything from dipping sauces, stir fry sauces, alone for sushi, and in soups. I love that I'm supporting an artisan as well. (They are making soy sauce the traditional way, I believe their family has been doing this for 500 years)
- AMavery m.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/4/25Unparalleled taste
I bought this as a christmas gift for my fiancé and he was absolutely obsessed with it. The flavor is unlike any soy sauce he had ever tried and said it made EVERY savory/asian inspired dish better. It lasts a long time making the price absolutely worth it, and it is incredibly unique and versatile. Highly recommend.
