Yamato Japanese Sweet Soy Sauce for Ice Cream 150ml

Have you ever added soy sauce to ice cream? Although it is true that soy sauce is able to enhance the flavor of any food including ice cream (be careful not to add too much though!), this is not a common way of consuming it. Nonetheless, a soy sauce specialist Yamato has invented one for ice cream.

This soy sauce is mildly sweetened with sugar, starch syrup, and mirin sweet sake. This apparent mismatch of saltiness and sweetness is actually harmonious.

Its viscous texture makes it suitable for making mitarashi-dango (skewered rice dumplings that are glazed with sweetened soy sauce).

Interestingly, this soy sauce also pairs well with sweet vegetables such as satsumaimo sweet potato and kabocha squash.
