Clearspring Organic Shoyu Soy Sauce, 150 ml
40J02
Clearspring organic shoyu is the finest available, made in Japan by the award-winning Sendai brewery to a traditional recipe, and using organic whole soya beans, roasted wheat and natural fermentation with slow ageing in cedarwood kegs.
Craft-made soy sauce is still produced using centuries-old Japanese recipes, in which whole-cooked soya beans and roasted cracked wheat are used, and the koji inoculation (with cultured mould spores) is carried out over the traditional three days followed by lengthy maturing in cedarwood kegs over 15 months at the ambient seasonal temperature. Pressing sacks are wrapped by hand, and the entire process is carried out without the use of chemicals. Clearspring is committed to using non-GM soya beans. Less than 1% of soy sauce in Japan is still made to these standards. The long, slow ageing in decades-old wooden kegs enhances the fermentation process and draws out natural glutamic acid to ensure a rich savoury aroma and a complex sweet and savoury taste that is highly prized amongst connoisseurs. The end result is a seasoning sauce in which the soya bean's basic elements have been transformed into more digestible nutrients. Clearspring miso is made by a similar traditional method.
