Naogen Yuzu Soy Sauce, The Wasabi Company, 120ml

This is a lovely, bright, citrus-led, high quality Japanese soy sauce made by blending freshly pressed yuzu juice with the producer’s traditionally brewed Koikuchi Marudaizu soy sauce. The soy sauce itself is fermented for a full year, developing natural sweetness and deep umami, before being combined with locally grown yuzu from Shikoku and a touch of kombu to round and soften the acidity. The result is a beautifully balanced soy sauce that is savoury and lightly salty, lifted by the fragrant aroma of yuzu. There’s a gentle citrus bitterness on the finish, reminiscent of yuzu peel, which adds structure and freshness without overpowering delicate ingredients. Available in 120ml. Also available from this producer: Naogen Ginger Soy Sauce and Naogen Koikuchi Marudaizu Soy Sauce. Store at room temperature and away from sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 months.
