The epitome of umami [Takesan] Traditional Japanese
Kishibori Soy Sauce

Brewed soy sauce, having embraced the flow of time, acquires a rich aroma. This is why well-made brewed soy sauce not only seasons food but also adds deep flavor. Today, Kurly introduces Kishibori soy sauce, aged in massive cedar barrels within soy sauce breweries on Shodoshima, designated a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. Its name means 'soy sauce pressed as is,' which comes from its manufacturing method. Moromi*, aged naturally for a year, is pressed as is. This creates a profound taste, color, and aroma inside ancient cedar barrels much larger than a person. Elevate the quality of your dishes with this soy sauce, carefully aged using only soybeans, wheat, and salt.

About Brand

Takesan is a food company that primarily produces traditional soy sauce passed down on Shodoshima for over 400 years. It opened its doors in Shodoshima in 1966. When they first started selling Kishibori soy sauce, it was uncommon for companies like Takesan to sell local traditional soy sauce in small volumes. To capture the unique flavor of Kishibori soy sauce, Takesan uses healthier ingredients and methods closer to tradition. In traditional soy sauce breweries, where veteran brewing experts have dedicated a long time to soy sauce production, the flavors deepen day by day. They continue their business based on the belief that through soy sauce making, they must deliver a food culture born from the blessings of nature to our tables.
