This shiro tamari is made up of only three ingredients - wheat from the Aichi Prefecture, Izu Oshima's traditional Japanese sea salt, "Umi no Sei" and mountain spring water.
Koji is added to the mixture which is then fermented for 90 to 120 days in traditional wooden barrels.

The wheat gives it a lighter colour and milder umami flavour.

White tamari is milder and sweeter than traditional soy sauce, with the aroma of malt and white miso, giving you a seasoning with a wonderful balance of saltiness, sweetness and umami.

Its subtle taste and pale colour makes it a versatile seasoning that can enhance dishes and perfectly highlight the ingredients without overpowering them or changing their colour.
