Ishimago Shoyu First Press Barrel Aged Dark Soy Sauce 300ml

Ishimago's First Press Barrel Aged Soy Sauce is crafted using traditional Japanese techniques that date back centuries. This dark soy sauce is made only from the first pressing of soybeans, known as ichibanshibori, resulting in a rich, rounded flavor. After pressing, it's aged slowly in cedar barrels to deepen its taste and aroma - a method rarely used today due to the time and care it requires.

The combination of aged umami and subtle sweetness makes this soy sauce especially suited to enhancing dishes with depth and nuance. Whether you're using it for dipping sashimi, seasoning simmered dishes, or finishing a hot bowl of tofu, the balance of flavor brings out the natural taste of the ingredients without overwhelming them.
