Description: About this item Flavor: Soy Sauce Brand: Yamaroku Soy Sauce Package Information: Bottle Item Weight: 18 ounces Package Weight: 1.02 kilograms Item Form: Liquid Unit Quantity: 500 milliliters Generally, the "umami" in soy sauce is indicated by its nitrogen (N) value. Nitrogen, primarily found in soybeans, serves as a marker for flavor intensity—higher nitrogen levels are associated with richer umami. This umami component emerges during the aging process of soybeans. For reference, the typical nitrogen value for light soy sauce is around 1.2, while regular dark soy sauce reaches about 1.5. In contrast, Yamaroku’s product "Tsurubishio" has a nitrogen value exceeding 2.3, demonstrating its heightened umami content by these measurements. Shodoshima Soy Sauce The origins of soy sauce production on Shodoshima Island are unrecorded, but it is widely believed to date back to the Bunroku era (1592–1595). Since ancient times, Shodoshima had a thriving salt industry, and by the Genroku period, its production ranked second only to Ako. However, by the late Edo period, salt production had become excessive throughout the Seto Inland Sea region, prompting a shift toward soy sauce production, which effectively utilized salt as a primary ingredient. Shodoshima’s strategic coastal location, where maritime transportation was central, made it easy to source soybeans and wheat and to export products. Additionally, the island’s warm and relatively dry climate proved ideal for soy sauce brewing. These factors collectively contributed to the growth and prosperity of the soy sauce industry on Shodoshima. About Shodoshima Shodoshima, an island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is the second-largest island in the region and part of Kagawa Prefecture. Known for its scenic beauty, mild climate, and Mediterranean-like landscape, it has become famous for olive cultivation, traditional soy sauce brewing, and salt production. Its unique natural environment and weather, with warm temperatures and low rainfall, make it ideal for agriculture and fermentation industries. Shodoshima is not only a historical center for soy sauce production but also a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors with its olive groves, scenic coastlines, and attractions such as the Kankakei Gorge, one of Japan’s most beautiful gorges.
