You can feel difference
Natural Brewed Koikuchi Soy Sauce

Authentic Koikuchi soy sauce offers delicate flavors and a mellow aroma. Made from natural sea salt, domestic wheat, and soybeans, it achieves harmony through aging, enhancing the natural taste of blended ingredients. Ideal for enhancing dishes like steak sauce, lobster sauce, chili sauce, gumbo, and Jambalaya, it deepens flavors and masks meat and fish odors as a secret seasoning.

Where is Soy Sauce Made

Gods Brew the Soy Sauce

Our soy sauce is slowly aged using only Koji and organisms from our wooden brewery. The sauce’s quality and flavor vary based on their activity. The brewer's main task is to create the best environment for them. In the past, people believed that an invisible god brewed soy sauce.

Soy Sauce Terroir-Premier Tatsuno Brand

Tatsuno, in Japan's inland sea, enjoys ideal mild climate and humidity, protected by mountains. Pure, soft water from the Ibo River enhances umami through slow fermentation. These natural advantages have historically enabled Tatsuno to brew premium soy sauce.

Manufacturing scene of soy sauce making

The soy sauce koji is made by adding koji mold to steamed soybeans and roasted, finely crushed wheat. This is the key to making delicious soy sauce.

The completed soy sauce koji is transferred to a tank and mixed with salt water to create Moromi. Stir occasionally to incorporate air while maturing.

The Moromi is pressed using a special machine, and the liquid that is squeezed out is then heated and filtered to increase its clarity.

After completing the finishing process and bottling, each bottle is individually wrapped and shipped by hand.

Small Brewery’s Traditional Philosophy

"We do not manufacture but "cultivate" the soy sauce."

Naturally brewing soy sauce, like organic farming without chemicals, involves listening, sniffing, and observing subtle changes during aging. These subtle adjustments could never be made by machine, meaning that it is impossible to manufacture the sauce in a large scale.

It is a typical "Rice Miso" made from rice koji (malted rice) and soybeans.It is characterized by its shiny light color, refreshing strong taste and rich aroma due to the action of yeast and lactic acid bacteria.

Traditional Japanese Food

Miso, as an ingredient of miso soup, has a long history in Japan. It was introduced to Japan as far back as the Asuka period (710-794), but at that time miso was not soluble in water, so people ate miso by licking it off. People began to eat miso soup in the Kamakura period.(1185-1333). In the Kamakura period, a meal style called "Ichiju-ichisai" (One soup and One Vegetable) began to take root in samurai society, and the custom of eating miso soup with every meal was established. From then, miso soup became popular as a food for warfare. In the Edo period (1603-1867), miso became popular for Japanese people in their daily lives. Nowadays, miso soup appears on every family's dining table. Since then, miso soup has been a staple of the Japanese diet.

Natural Brewing

During fermentation and maturation of miso, the fermentation tanks are placed in a warm room. Several kinds of microorganisms and enzymes from the koji greatly contribute to this process, creating various flavors unique to miso.The Yatsugatake Natural Brewery is located at an altitude of approximately 850m above sea level. We use subterranean water of Yatsugatake pumped up from nearly 90 m underground and matured slowly over a long period of time. This brings out a mellow and deep flavor to this naturally brewed Shinshu Miso.

How Rice Miso is Made

First, soybeans are in the boiling, steaming and pressure cooking process. Rice will go into the steaming process then it will become rice malt(koji). After that, the soybeans and the rice malt will be mixed with water and salt. Then, the mixture of soybeans, rice malt, water and salt will go into the fermentation and aging process for a long period of time in a brewing warehouse. The brewery is located in a mountainous area at an elevation of 849 meters, making it an ideal place for fermentation and maturation of miso due to the cooler temperatures. This long-term aging process gives miso a mellow, full-bodied flavor.

Commitment to Ingredients

We manufacture with a commitment to raw materials and use only Japanese ingredients.

As for the ingredients used to make miso, we carefully selected Koshihikari rice from Akita prefecture which is famous among Japanese people and even people overseas.

Various New Ways to Use Miso Paste - Twice-cooked Pork with Miso

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.

The manufacturing site of Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, is blessed with a mild climate peculiar to the Seto Inland Sea and is a town with lots of greenery and rich nature. In addition, the Ibo River that flows through the center of the city is the "soft water" that is most suitable for making soy sauce. The most suitable climate for making soy sauce, and "water", we are making soy sauce with a traditional manufacturing method that makes the most of its nature and "water", thanks to these benefits. Our history of soy sauce making and its technology have been handed down by many craftsmen. In the past, many craftsmen have been trying to protect traditional soy sauce in the past. At present, we are working hard to make soy sauce every day, incorporating the new technologies and knowledge, but also what we must not change and what we must protect. And we want to value the relationship of trust with our customers that have been nurtured in that history and above all else. Soy sauce cannot be made with human power alone. In order to make "soy sauce" from soy and wheat as raw materials, various microorganisms need to help. One of them, "Soy Sauce Yeast", has been living in the warehouse for many years to create the taste and aroma of soy sauce. This "soy sauce yeast" supports the unchanging taste of our soy sauce. It is one of the irreplaceable wealth given in tradition.
