Made locally by Naogen Shoyu, a long-established soy sauce maker in Kanazawa’s historic Ōno district, this shoyu-koji soy sauce is a deeply savoury pantry staple full of natural umami. Naogen has been brewing soy sauce since 1825, carrying on the region’s celebrated Ōno shoyu tradition, where clean water, local climate, and careful koji fermentation create a mellow, flavourful sauce. Richer, thicker from the koji rice remaining in the bottle and more rounded than everyday soy sauce, it is beautiful with rice, grilled vegetables, tofu, eggs, marinades and dressings. A small bottle with big depth, chosen by Modern Minka to bring the taste of Kanazawa’s fermentation culture into your kitchen.
