Shodoshima Town Soy Sauce

Shodoshima is known as the 'Island of Soy Sauce.' In Tonosho Town, the gateway to the island, the tradition of soy sauce making remains alive. The history of soy sauce production on Shodoshima spans approximately 400 years. The industry flourished because the town's location at a key maritime transport point in the Seto Inland Sea made it easy to obtain soybeans and wheat, the warm climate was ideal for fermentation, and the salt from nearby salt pans could be utilized. Even today, breweries using traditional wooden barrels are scattered across the island. The yeast and lactic acid bacteria that have inhabited these breweries over many years create a unique, deep flavor that cannot be replicated by machines. A fragrant drop brewed by time and microorganisms. Please try and experience the authentic soy sauce that is unique to Shodoshima.
