Teraoka is a shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) brewery based in Hiroshima that still preserves traditional barrel brewing methods for producing authentic soy sauces like this one. This is Teraoka's flagship soy sauce, handmade and aged in century-old kioke wooden barrels.
This excellent barrel aged soy sauce is made with simple yet high quality ingredients; Japanese organic whole soybeans, Japanese organic wheat, and solar salt. What makes this soy sauce distinct from regular soy sauces is that it is fermented naturally in old-centuries wooden barrels for 3 years. This time intensive process brings out unique characteristics like more glutamic acid and umami compounds. In addition, each brewery's "ecosystem" is different allowing more varied flavors and fragrances profiles to develop than soy sauce brewed in steel tanks.
This soy sauce has an assertive full-bodied taste with a faint aroma of cedar, but the sauce is not too sharp nor too viscous so it is pretty easy to eat. A must-try for those who are looking for a real Japanese handmade soy sauce.
- Handmade Japanese soy sauce, aged in kioke cedar barrels for 3 years.

Simply add an appropriate amount of this shoyu to the dishes so that you can enhance the umami of food.
Its rich taste makes it the perfect pairing for sashimi, cold tofu, grilled fish, steaks, etc.
It can also be used as a seasoning or secret ingredient; a teaspoonful amount of this soy sauce in soup will brighten up and add a depth of flavor to an otherwise dull soup. This works especially well with meat-based soups.

- CDCarole D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/14/25When only the best will do
I am a westerner but only enjoy superior foods and this soy does not disappoint
- CECathy E C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/14/25The aged flavour
Really great flavour. Unique
- MMaxVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/3/25Feel the age
If you looking for something great- it’s here. Great price, even better quality and taste, aftertaste is impressive. Scrumptious.
- WKWookyung K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/27/25Great soy source
Probably the best soy source I have ever tried. The soy source adds one more elegant layer to any dishes it is used. JT reasonably prices the item. A caveat - shipping will be from japan so it will take multiple weeks.
- CAChen A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/8/25Impressed
This spy sauce and a second one I’ve recently purchased are as good as described.
The goods also arrived pretty fast with a few days delay due to my country restrictions.
Overall - will order again, great products and good service.
