Yamaroku Shoyu Pure Artisan Barrel Aged 4 Year Soy Sauce 'Tsuru Bisiho', 18oz

Yamaroku's flagship soy sauce series, Tsurubishio, is aged for the longest duration, ranging from 3 to 5 years. The name "Tsurubishio" is derived from the Japanese words "Tsuru," meaning "crane," and "Bishio," meaning "condiment." In Japan, cranes are revered as auspicious birds that symbolize longevity, and it is believed that their song can reach the heavens. Yamaroku aspires for this soy sauce to be like the cranes, able to reach the heavens and be known to everyone.

Characterized by its rich, mellow flavor, Tsurubishio is highly recommended for use in a variety of dishes, including sushi, sashimi, tofu, and grilled fish. It can also serve as a secret ingredient in original culinary creations. One unique application of Tsurubishio is topping vanilla ice cream, which results in a delightful caramel-like flavor, adding a delightful twist for guests and customers at restaurants.

This soy sauce is crafted using the traditional and authentic method of fermenting Japanese condiments, which has been practiced since ancient times. The process involves the use of Japanese wooden barrels called "kioke." Due to the dominance of modern mass production, only 1% of the total soy sauce production in Japan still employs this traditional method.

By trying and enjoying Tsurubishio, you can experience a taste of Japanese history that has nearly been lost in the modern era. This soy sauce stands out from the generic options, as it is brewed and aged for 4 years using the ancient methods, with the key ingredients being soy beans, wheat, salt, and water. Tsurubishio is free from preservatives, artificial coloring, or fillers, making it the purest sweet and salty shout soy sauce available in the market.

Tsurubishio is presented in an easy-to-open soy sauce dispenser glass container bottle, ensuring convenient and hassle-free usage. In addition to its versatility in various dishes, Tsurubishio can also be used as an ingredient to create other sauces, such as Ponzu and Teriyaki, or incorporated into ramen bowls.

The flavor of Tsurubishio is best described as having a deep, full-rounded taste with a balanced umami profile. This unique soy sauce offers a surprising and delightful twist when paired with vanilla ice cream, providing a caramel-like flavor experience.
