Yamagen Jouzou
The Yamagen Jouzou company was founded almost 3 centuries ago in Takaoka, located in the Toyama prefecture in Japan. With a long-standing tradition in soy sauce production, they offer this product as part of their innovative range designed to add depth and complexity to a variety of dishes.
Umami-Rich
The infusion of shiitake mushrooms provides a robust umami depth, which is a key characteristic of this soy sauce. Umami, often described as a savoury or meaty taste, enhances the overall flavour profile of dishes.
Earthy and Deep
The mushrooms contribute an earthy depth that complements the natural saltiness of the soy sauce, making it more complex and layered compared to regular soy sauces.
Balanced Sweetness
The wheat and natural fermentation process give the soy sauce a subtle sweetness that balances the savoury and umami flavours.
As well as serving with sushi and sashimi, try adding to a Bolognese sauce, cottage pie, chilli con carne or even gravy for extra flavour without the need for additional salt.
How to Use
Perfect for dipping sushi, sashimi, dumplings and other appetizers, the rich flavour of the shiitake mushrooms adds an extra layer of taste to a traditional dipping sauce.
