The Yamaroku Tsurubishio Shoyu is a premium Japanese barrel-aged soy sauce made of high quality natural ingredients and by following traditional techniques.
Tsurubishio Shoyu has dark, almost black color, very rich and strong scent, and mellow taste.
The soy sauce is aged in large wooden barrels which have been used for over 150 years since the foundation of Yamaroku. The passage of time makes the lactic acid bacteria and yeasts settle tightly inside the barrels, giving the soy sauce a distinctive flavor and taste.
What makes this soy sauce different from the others is Yamaroku's "re-preparation method". While conventional soy sauces are sold into market after 2-years-fermentation, Yamaroku once extracts the soy sauce from the barrel, puts it into the barrel again, and ferments it for another 2 years. This makes the flavor very rich and full.
Close the bottle cap tightly once opened, and store it in a cool and dark place. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.

- MMp15Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/1/22Anticipate the delicacy of this soy sauce
"Tsuru Bisiho" Wow wow, if you love natural soy sauce without any added artificial sugars this is the one! Aged 4 years in wooden barrels he crafts for his soy sauce. This man shows incredible craftsmanship both the aging from crafting the barrels to the aging process to such such patience and bottling his product. A must watch documentary. I support small businesses and especially ancient craft all over the world and this craft is undeniably amazing. Traditional machine made soy sauce adds artificial sugars. This soy sauce takes an additional 2 years to slowly age and excrete the natural sugars. Divine!
- SPSidney P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/20/23By far the best shoyu ever!
In Hawaii, shoyu is a main staple. The top selling brands are Aloha and Kikoman. Yamasa is third but the the best of the three and the most expensive. Aloha and Kikoman are extremely harsh and very dark. Yamasa is quite mild has a slight caramel color. Yamaroku has a much stronger caramel color (on the outer edge of the bowl) and is extremely mild and a flavor unlike anything else.
