The Yamaroku Kikubishio Shoyu is a premium Japanese soy sauce made of high quality natural ingredients and following traditional techniques. Compared with Tsurubishio soy sauce, this orthodox soy sauce has a blander flavor.
Kikubishio Shoyu has a beautiful red brown color, faintly sweet scent, and light taste.
The soy sauce is still made in large wooden barrels which have been used for over 150 years since the foundation of Yamaroku. The passage of time makes the lactic acid bacteria and yeasts settle tightly inside the barrels, giving the soy sauce a distinctive flavor and taste.
What makes Kikubishio different from the other soy sauces is the ingredients. Kikubishio Shoyu is made with Tanba kuromame (Japanese high class black soybean) and Japanese wheat cultivar called Sanuki-no-Yume which is originally bred for udon. These make the soy sauce's umami and aroma richer and unique.
Based on its bland taste, Kikubishio is the best choice in seasoning the dishes in simple way that its sharpness will enrich the taste of the foods without disrupting their original flavor. Its beautiful color is useful in making visually beautiful dishes.
The best way to enjoy this soy sauce is simply add it to the egg rice or cooked shiitake so that you can further appreciate its aroma.
Its bland taste boosts the umami of meat regardless of beef, pork, poultry, mutton, etc.

- SOSadako O.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars9/24/24Did not like flavor
I am sorry but totally disappointed. Yes, it is very smooth, but too thick on tongue, no flavor of my liking. Maybe, my expectation was too high.

I am very pleased, I think it’s excellent
- RRvaldezRated 3 out of 5 stars10/20/22It is very pricey, 500 ml will cause more than $60.00 for total amount including the 15 % discount
I watched the video, it looks good, I tried to order but when I saw the total amount I changed my mind.
It will cost more that $60.00 including the 15% discount for 1 bottle of 500 ml soy sauce.

- BABrett A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6/19/22Umami!
Wow! I've never tasted so much umami and complexity. in a soy sauce. It was wonderful. I couldn't believe it at first so I had taste of Kikkoman, which was good but only one note and not the symphony that Yamaroku Kikubishio had. I'm very please and will treasure it.
