For over 140 years, Taihei has been producing premium soy sauce using a traditional method of fermentation in wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eFounded in 1880 in Chiba Prefecture, Taihei produces quality soy sauces. Established in Sōsa, Chiba Prefecture (formerly Yōkaichiba), its artisans perpetuate traditional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe cellars contain 117 solid cedar wooden barrels, among the few still existing in Japan, each measuring 2.7 meters in diameter and height. The fermentation method used there is natural. Each barrel produces approximately 10,000 bottles of soy sauce. The aging process here is a minimum of one year, using microorganisms that have populated the cellars for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eTheir brewing method produces an exceptionally smooth soy sauce, with a perfect balance of taste, aroma, and color. This soy sauce is made from the highest quality soybeans, wheat, and salt. The ingredients are carefully prepared before the fermentation process begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eIn the koji room, artisans maintain optimal humidity and temperature to cultivate essential microorganisms. Indigenous microorganisms that have evolved with the brewery create its unique flavor. Taihei soy sauce, crafted with dedication for over 140 years, represents the very essence of traditional Japanese soy sauce. This special sauce captures the authentic flavors of Japanese culinary heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThis sauce is made without chemical seasonings or food additives. This soy sauce, like a grand cru wine, offers a rich palette of aromas and flavors. The maturation of the soy sauce in these wooden barrels gives it a more intense and rounded flavor. The aromas and flavors evoke woody accents, notes of cocoa and chicory, and cereals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe salinity is balanced, the umami deep, with a lot of freshness. Like any quality sauce, it reduces fish and game odors, enhances sweetness, amplifies the umami of fish and meat, and when cooked with ingredients containing sugar, produces an aroma and color that stimulate the appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThis sauce can accompany all types of dishes: meat, fish, pasta, salad dressings, desserts... Surprisingly, it also pairs well with chocolate and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAIHEI CO.LTD","offers":[{"title":"360 ml net","offer_id":54111436865869,"sku":"NISTHI003","price":4.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.8 L net","offer_id":54111436898637,"sku":"NISTHI004","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/THI003-s.webp?v=1782200372","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/maru-daizu-soy-sauce-aged-in-kioke-vat","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
