Yamaroku 4 Years Aged Soy Sauce - 5 Ounce

Tsurubishio, the flagship series of soy sauce from Yamaroku, is aged the longest between 3-5 years. In Japan, the word "Tsuru" means "crane," and "Bishio" means "condiment." Cranes are considered auspicious birds in Japanese culture, symbolizing longevity. Legend has it that the song of cranes can reach the heavens, and Yamaroku aims for their soy sauce to be like the cranes, renowned by all.

Tsurubishio boasts a rich mellow flavor, perfect for enhancing dishes like sushi, sashimi, tofu, grilled fish, and even as a secret ingredient in original recipes. An interesting twist is drizzling Tsurubishio over vanilla ice cream, creating a delightful caramel-like taste that surprises guests and customers in restaurants.

This soy sauce is crafted using traditional and authentic methods that have been used to ferment Japanese condiments for centuries, utilizing Japanese wooden barrels known as kioke. With the modernization of soy sauce production, only 1% of total soy sauce production in Japan still follows this traditional approach.

Experience a taste of Japanese history that is almost forgotten in today's world by sampling and savoring this impeccably crafted condiment.
