Organic, smoked, and made without a degreasing process—it is truly a unique, rare soy sauce! Most of the smoked soy sauce products available in the market are made by adding an artificial smoky aroma liquid; however, Takasago Soy Sauce’s Organic Smoked Marudaizu Soy Sauce is actually smoked with cherry wood that complements the soy sauce flavor. This natural smoke infusing technique, perfected through the company’s extensive research, is a laborious process that requires high skill. Made with organic soybeans grown in Hokkaido and organic barley harvested in Japan, the soy sauce is brewed and aged in the natural environment of the Izumo region using the company’s own traditional method since its establishment in 1877.
