The Yamaroku Tsurubishio Shoyu is a premium Japanese barrel-aged soy sauce made of high quality natural ingredients and by following traditional techniques.
Tsurubishio Shoyu has dark, almost black color, very rich and strong scent, and mellow taste.
The soy sauce is aged 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 this soy sauce different from the others is Yamaroku's "re-preparation method". While conventional soy sauces are sold into market after 2-years-fermentation, Yamaroku once extracts the soy sauce from the barrel, puts it into the barrel again, and ferments it for another 2 years. This makes the flavor very rich and full.
Close the bottle cap tightly once opened, and store it in a cool and dark place. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.

- MMp15Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/1/22Anticipate the delicacy of this soy sauce
"Tsuru Bisiho" Wow wow, if you love natural soy sauce without any added artificial sugars this is the one! Aged 4 years in wooden barrels he crafts for his soy sauce. This man shows incredible craftsmanship both the aging from crafting the barrels to the aging process to such such patience and bottling his product. A must watch documentary. I support small businesses and especially ancient craft all over the world and this craft is undeniably amazing. Traditional machine made soy sauce adds artificial sugars. This soy sauce takes an additional 2 years to slowly age and excrete the natural sugars. Divine!
- SPSidney P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/20/23By far the best shoyu ever!
In Hawaii, shoyu is a main staple. The top selling brands are Aloha and Kikoman. Yamasa is third but the the best of the three and the most expensive. Aloha and Kikoman are extremely harsh and very dark. Yamasa is quite mild has a slight caramel color. Yamaroku has a much stronger caramel color (on the outer edge of the bowl) and is extremely mild and a flavor unlike anything else.
- GSGary S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/4/25The best soya I,ve tasted!
I've been a chef for nearly 60 years, some of those years I've been preparing and cooking Japanese food, Yamaroku Tsurubishio Shoyu Barrel Aged Japanese Soy Sauce is the best soya I have ever tasted!
- MMMarimonica M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/30/22Yamaroku barrel aged soy sauce
This is the absolute best soy sauce I have ever tasted. The depth of flavor far outshines all others. Worth every penny. I'm obsessed! 👌
- TSTessa S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars12/15/22Delicious!!!
This Soy Sauce definitely deserves to be written in capitals. I watched a video on youtube (https://youtu.be/goEARNmqoDs) that shows the production by true artisans in the segment beginning at 1:02:17. That is why I sought to buy this particular Sauce and it is well worth the investment!!! I am so glad that this way I can enjoy delicious meals while supporting Japans ancient craftsmanship <3
- PSPaul S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/5/25Probably the best soy sauce I've ever had
It has a nice strong soy flavor, very balanced. I end up using less soy sauce than I would usually need. Bottle arrived cracked but with a large ammount of padding, so I'll blame the shippers. Beautiful bottle but unfortunately not able to use it, got around 85% of the sauce transfered to another glass bottle.
