Kyushu, the third largest island in Japan, is renowned for its sweet soy sauce. The more you go down to the south of the island, the more sweet it is. However, it is significantly less saturated with sugar and syrupy than Western versions.

The existence of this soy sauce, a sweet version, is intimately linked to Japan's history, which, during the Edo period began to trade with the West and more precisely the Netherlands.

This trade started on Kyushu, in the Nagasaki region, with a major ingredient, sugar, quickly adopt by the premises that started incorporating it into their cuisine.

A sushi restaurant can not do without the following major ingredients: the wasabi, fish, rice, vinegar and soy sauce, including soy sauce Nikiri, indispensable seasoning for nigiri and the Sashimi.

This soy sauce Nikiri, with sweet flavor, does not contain sugar itself. The "Shoyu Nikiri" attenuates the salty taste of soy sauce and does not interfere with the flavor of the ingredients.

The term "Nikiri" refers to the process of eliminating alcohol contained in the saké and the process of extracting the distilled alcohol. For the manufacture of this sauce, the first step involves mixing the soy sauce in the mirin and the saké.

This mixture is then boiled to eliminate the alcohol and sterilized. This sauce will surprise you with its sweet-salt, woody notes, with chicoro notes and accents. This sauce expresses everything in roundness, velvety texture, rich umami.

Our soy sauce Nikiri has a reduced sodium content of only 11%, 25% less than the sodium content of ordinary soy sauce.

You will appreciate this soy sauce for the tasting of sushi and sashimis, tofu, white rice covered with a raw egg, boiled vegetables or to take up a tartare of meat or fish.

I had this sauce tasted by someone who does not particularly appreciate soy sauce and they loved it. It's a very nice discovery! (Translated review)
