ABOUT THE PRODUCTS:
SOY SAUCE: Kikkoman soy sauce is a renowned product that adheres to the traditional method of natural brewing, resulting in distinctive and nuanced flavor. The process commences with an extended soaking of soybeans in water, followed by high temperature streaming, and then they are blended with crushed roasted wheat. The salt plays a role as preservative, ensuring the longevity and stability of the soy sauce. Next a genus of the aspergillus fungus is added to the mixture and left for three days to create shoyu koji, the base for soy sauce. The base is then transferred to a tank and mixed with saline solution, which creates a mash known as Moromi. Several months of aging follow, when various organic processes occur lactic acid, alcoholic and organic acid fermentation take place to create a unique flavor. Then Moromi is pressed through layers of fabric for around 10 hours to extract the raw product. Then it is left for 3 to 4 days, pasteurized using steam, which stops the enzymic activity. The final product is ready for inspecting and bottling.
