The Kiku Tsuyu Soy Sauce by Yamaroku is a premium soy sauce crafted for enhancing the flavors of traditional Japanese dishes. This versatile condiment serves as an excellent base for soups, broths, and dipping sauces, making it a staple for both home cooks and professional chefs.

This exceptional soy sauce is made using Yamarokus Aged 2 Years Kikubishio Soy Sauce as its foundation. It incorporates authentic ingredients such as dried bonito flakes, dried kelp, and Japanese mirin, resulting in a rich, mildly sweet flavor profile. The sweetness is derived from sugar sourced from the southern Japanese island of Tanegashima, adding to its unique taste.

The name Kiku, meaning Chrysanthemum, symbolizes the ultimate quality of this product, while Tsuyu refers to the soup mixed with soy sauce, highlighting its culinary purpose.

Yamarokus dedication to traditional brewing methods is evident in their use of kioke, a wooden container that facilitates natural fermentation. This age-old technique has been a hallmark of Japanese cuisine since the Edo period (1603-1868). Unfortunately, less than 1% of soy sauce production today employs this authentic method, making Yamarokus approach a rare find.

The company is one of the last remaining producers utilizing kioke barrels, allowing customers to experience a taste of Japanese culinary history.
