Furthermore, far-infrared roasting and pasteurization brings out the original impactful aroma of tea and the full flavor of the tea leaves.

Green Tea Steaming Level Simplified Chart

If the freshly picked leaves are left as they are, they immediately begin to ferment. The tea leaves are steaming for halt the oxidizing and fermentation action, preserve their green color and remove the "grassy" odor. Steaming process has a significant effect on the sencha's color and quality.

Cold Brew Sencha Green Tea Is Also Recommended

Cold Brew Sencha gives It a Mellow Taste

Cold Brew makes it difficult to extract bitter and astringent ingredients and caffeine. Furthermore, vitamin C is not destroyed by heat.

Add 3g of tea leaves (1 heaped tsp) to 100ml of water and brew in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you are making a large batch, please brew for 3-6 hours.

Arrange Cold Brew Sencha by Adding Fruits

Green tea and lemons are both high in nutrition. It can be a great addition to a healthy diet. When making cold brew sencha, you can make a refreshing lemon sencha by soaking it with lemon slices and garnishing it with mint.

Other recommended varieties include peaches, pears, and blueberries.

Hojicha Tea

From $22.96 USD

HOJICHA ROASTED GREEN TEA - It is one kind of Japanese green tea. However, it is different from other types of green tea as we use traditional roasting methods to roast the tea leaves. When the tea leaves are roasted, the bitterness is removed and the Hojicha takes on a nice earthy, toasty scent and an attractive reddish-brown color.

WHAT IS HOJICHA ?

Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto. We carefully selected the tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha. The tea leaves are roasted over high heat to bring out the unique aroma.

In the Meiji period, there was a tea merchant who tried to have an experiment to make the most of the leftovers of various parts of the tea plant. The tea merchant roasted the leaves, stems, and twigs by roasting them over charcoal. Since then, Japan began Hojicha roasting green tea and this resulted in a new business opportunity. People, especially the tea drinkers in that period, loved Hojicha because of its pleasant smoky aroma and mild flavor.

TRADITIONAL ROASTING METHOD

We carefully selected the tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha. The process of roasting tea leaves produces Pyrazine so it creates a distinctive pleasant roasting aroma. It also reduces the astringency of the tea with a smooth taste that is easy-to-drink. The roasting process does not affect the tea’s health benefits but instead burns away bitterness and caffeine. It is wonderful to drink after meals or in the evening and it can be safely consumed by babies, children and pregnant women.

Organic Soy Sauce 300ml(10.13fl oz)

$25.63 USD

We are particular about our ingredients and use 100% Japanese soybeans and wheat grown organically without the use of any pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We also use a traditional method called "natural brewing," which differs from conventional production methods. In natural brewing, soy sauce is brewed by microorganisms that live in the brewery under seasonal temperature changes, producing a natural soy sauce in which microorganisms adapted to the environment carry out metabolic activities at their own rhythm.

Traditional Soy Sauce Manufacturing Methods

Until now, the technology of making soy sauce has been invested in producing soy sauce quickly and in large quantities. The technology of optimal temperature brewing is to adjust a proper temperature by adding unrefined sake and cultivated yeast. It reduced the conventional brewing time to half a year and has succeeded in significantly lowering the cost of soy sauce. This makes a big contribution to the oversea demand for soy sauce industry.

However, we will continue to maintain the traditional method of natural brewing, in which soy sauce is brewed by microorganisms that live in the brewery under the temperature change of the four seasons. This is because we believe that the soy sauce produced under the metabolic activities of microorganisms adapted to the environment and operating at their own rhythms is the real soy sauce.

Natural Brewing

The production method of making soy sauce without adding temperature to the unrefined sake and following the traditional practice of making soy sauce in the temperature changes of the four seasons is called "Natural Brewing",

The Power of Yeast in the Brewery

The yeast that lives in the tanks on the brewery walls gives a full flavor to the soy sauce. The power of post-ripening yeast literally works after aging and it does not appear without time. The amount of melanoidin, a functional substance in miso and soy sauce that has a high active oxygen scavenging capacity. It helps to deepen the color of the soy sauce with long-term aging.

The Cycle of Life

The yeast, lactic acid bacteria and various wild species that live in the brewery create a unique ecosystem. This unique ecosystem gives the soy sauce a rich flavor and this is our goal in soy sauce production. We value the cycle of life by learning from organic agriculture, where the soil is created by numerous living creatures to produce abundant harvests.

100% being particular about Japanese Ingredients

Japan has a very low domestic self-sufficiency rate. Soy sauce, which supports Japanese food, is also mainly made from foreign soybeans, which account for 97% of the soy sauce distributed in Japan.

However, we insist on domestically produced ingredients and do not use any chemical seasonings, preservatives, coloring agents, extracts or genetically modified ingredients.

We have deepened our ties with local farmers, fishermen and brewers in order to know the producers and use post-harvest and genetically modified-free ingredients.

Recommended for any dishes

In Japan, sushi is generally served with soy sauce, but it is also recommended to use in various kinds of dishes as a seasoning item. The common soy sauce may make the dish itself too rich in flavor, but this organic shoyu soy sauce can blend well with the flavors of the ingredients and bring out the taste of the soy sauce and the flavor of the ingredients in each other.
