Jump for shoyu.

Shoyu, or Japanese-style soy sauce, sports a sweeter, more delicate flavor than your typical grocery store soy sauce. A splash of it lends subtle umami to everything from stir-fries to spaghetti sauce. Haku crafts its shoyu using a time-honored traditional Japanese method. Choose from 5 varieties, all ready to bring something different to your cooking.

Smoked Shoyu: cold-smoked with Japanese oak for a complex and lively smoke flavor

Whisky Barrel Aged Shoyu: aged for 13 months in Japanese whiskey barrels

Sakura Cherry Blossom Shoyu: a white shoyu that’s been aged with preserved cherry blossoms

Matsutake Shoyu: a white shoyu infused with earthy matsutake mushrooms

Black Garlic Shoyu: brimming with funky, caramel-y umami notes

Quality Product/Poor quality packaging

I have purchased this shoyu before for myself. My daughters and I loved the flavor. The garlic flavor is noticable. Its rich, similar to tamari but its also very delicate. Its wonderful when used in homemade ramen broth! I ordered 2 more bottles to give as christmas presents. When I recieved the bottles (shipped together), the box wasnt damaged and both bottles were in high quality bubble wrap made for bottles. Regardless, both security wrappers had fallen off the bottles and both caps were broken with pour spout edge exposed. Luckily, none of the sauce had leaked out into the box but Im not sure my daughters will feel comfortable using the sauce when there is a potential for contamination. I was given a $15 inconvenience discount on my next purchase but since the sauce has been repeatedly out of stock, Food52 has not offered to replace them. Now I need to find something else for gifts.

Even better than the smoked one

We loved the smoked shoyu, but this one is even better. Not terribly relevant, but the bottle is also very nice and will be a great display later.

So delicious

This has really upped our Japanese food game. My partner has spent time in Japan and said that this really takes her back. We will be buying the other variants soon!
