Koikuchi shoyu (濃口醤油) is a classic all-purpose Japanese dark soy sauce, brewed naturally and known for its balanced flavour. This iconic condiment delivers a rich, complex umami taste with a subtle sweetness and a deep reddish-brown colour, a result of its traditional fermentation process using soybeans and wheat. It is an indispensable ingredient in Japanese cooking, used for everything from seasoning stir-fries and noodle broths to creating marinades for meat and fish. The convenient 150ml table dispenser makes it easy to add a dash to sushi, sashimi, or a bowl of rice right at the dinner table. For best results, store in a cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening to preserve its delicate flavour. This versatile soy sauce is a fundamental staple for anyone looking to explore authentic Japanese cuisine at home. Contains SOY and WHEAT.
