Hello! This is Tenbusu Organic Market☆

Today, we introduce a supreme masterpiece, “Marunaka Soy Sauce,” which is favored by the famous actor Takuya Kimura and has captivated even three-star chefs in France. This soy sauce is a special existence trusted implicitly by professionals; it is the very one that Kimura-san's culinary mentor specially brought from Japan when he craved Japanese food while filming overseas.

The secret to its deliciousness lies in the "traditional ancient method" that has been preserved in Shiga Prefecture for over two hundred years. Inside the storehouse, which is a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property dating back to the Edo period, invisible "indigenous brewing bacteria" have lived for generations. These bacteria create the unique, deep aroma and umami that only Marunaka Soy Sauce can produce.

The manufacturing process involves an incredible amount of time and effort. Without relying at all on mechanical temperature control, artisans use a stirring pole called a kaibo to stir the mash by hand while "conversing" with its condition. Furthermore, while typical soy sauce is produced in a short period, Marunaka Soy Sauce undergoes "long-term natural aging" over three years—spanning three full cycles of the four seasons—slowly maturing within the natural temperature changes.

In the final stage, they employ "fune-shibori" (press-less extraction), where they wait a full week for the sauce to slowly drip out through the weight of gravity alone, resulting in a clear taste free of any harshness.

This soy sauce is truly like a Japanese treasure, born from a heart of affection that "nurtures" the sauce. It is perfect for sashimi or tofu, but even a single drop as a secret ingredient in your cooking will transform your daily dining table into a luxurious experience like that of a three-star restaurant. Please experience the authentic taste in your own home.

Ingredients: Soybeans (Non-GMO), Wheat, Salt (Sun-dried salt). *Uses domestic soybeans and wheat.
