Japanese Sansho Pepper Soy Sauce, 6.66 floz

Daitoku Shoyu’s sansho pepper-infused soy sauce is crafted with premium soy sauce and locally grown Asakura sansho peppercorns. The soy sauce maker has maintained a traditional brewing method for over a century, which utilizes microbes that naturally inhabit the brewery. They brew soy sauce from non-GMO soybeans, wheat, and salt—all sourced in Japan—without any artificial flavoring or preservatives, and age the soy sauce base in sugi (Japanese cedarwood) barrels for over a year. The sansho peppercorns are added to the soy sauce to create an infusion, and then the flavor is adjusted using beet sugar to achieve the best balance.

The sansho’s refreshingly fruity aroma and flavor enhance the robust soy sauce, making it a truly unique seasoning. It can be used, not only for Japanese cooking, but also for a variety of other cuisines and styles. The fruitiness of the sansho helps eliminate meaty smells, so it goes well with dishes like roast beef and lamb chops. Also, its full-bodied flavor spices up mildly-flavored dishes, such as tofu and white meat fish.
