Daiko Shoyu’s Maruama Dark Soy Sauce is a koikuchi-style shōyu aged for three years in Japanese cedar barrels. This long aging process gives it a deep, balanced flavor profile, characterized by salty and umami notes.
Versatile in the kitchen, it can be served directly with sushi and sashimi. It’s also ideal for marinating meat or vegetables, as well as in salad dressings, sauces, and stir-fries.
Daiko Shoyu is a family-owned business that has been producing soy sauce since 1852. It is located in a small hamlet surrounded by mountains, near Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake.
Once opened, store the bottle in the refrigerator and reseal it carefully after each use to preserve the sauce’s aromas and quality.
