Yamaroku 4-Year Aged Soy Sauce, 5 Ounce

Revised Content:

Tsurubishio, Yamaroku's flagship soy sauce, undergoes the longest aging process, lasting between 3 to 5 years. The name "Tsurubishio" is a combination of "Tsuru," meaning "crane," and "Bishio," meaning "condiment." In Japan, cranes are regarded as auspicious birds that symbolize longevity, and it is believed that their song can reach the heavens. Yamaroku's goal is for this soy sauce to be like the cranes, known to all and able to reach the heavens.

Tsurubishio is characterized by its rich, mellow flavor, making it a versatile condiment suitable for a variety of dishes, such as sushi, sashimi, tofu, and grilled fish. It is also recommended as a secret ingredient for creating original dishes. One unique way to enjoy Tsurubishio is by drizzling it over vanilla ice cream, which results in a delightful caramel-like flavor, adding a surprising twist for guests and customers at a restaurant.

This soy sauce is made using the traditional and authentic method of fermenting Japanese condiments, a process that has been practiced since ancient times. The fermentation takes place in Japanese wooden barrels called "kioke." However, due to the prevalence of modern mass production techniques, only 1% of the total soy sauce production in Japan still adheres to this traditional method.

By trying and enjoying Tsurubishio, you can have a taste of Japanese history that is in danger of being lost in the modern era. This classic condiment, crafted with care and attention to tradition, offers a unique opportunity to experience the rich heritage and flavors of Japan.
