Marunaka Jouzou Shoyu Soy Sauce

This shoyu made from local ingredients simply has a fantastic `flower`, if one may transfer this technical expression from the wine world to Shoyu. Slightly lighter than is usual for a Koikuchi (dark Shoyu) and therefore popular with those 3 star chefs in the Kansai region. This aroma can only develop due to the special microclimate in the Shiga province: muggy hot summers, freezing cold snowy winters.

Marunaka has been brewing using traditional methods for more than 200 years. That means here not only fermentation in wooden barrels, but renunciation of any modern or industrial machines. The tools and equipment associated with this Shoyu is brewed is otherwise only found in museums. The brewery itself is under monument protection. 100% handwork and tradition that is second to none. Not only the legendary Kikunoi restaurant in Kyoto swears by this shoyu, too michelin star chef Pierre Gagnaire is a fan.
