Takuko White Soy Sauce is rare. With a long tradition in Japan, light
amber in color as well as cleaner and thinner than typical soy sauces,
this white soy infuses wonderful flavor without darkening the color of
foods.
The more subtle Shiro (or white) soy sauce involves
more wheat and has a lighter color and sweeter flavor. The wheat is
roasted in hot sand until it turns fox brown in color and yields a
fragrant aroma. Then it is coarsely milled to resemble cracked wheat
and a small amount of steamed soybeans are mixed with the fragrant,
roasted wheat. The soybeans and wheat are mixed together and inoculated
with koji seed. Because of this mildness, white soy sauce is a
favorite of chefs & mixologists looking to add the flavor of soy
without overpowering the flavors and colors of other ingredients.
Yakami Orchards consists of a family of growers (some fourth generation) upholding the traditions of producing quality citrus products. Cool ocean breezes give this region some of the world’s finest citrus, including yuzu, sudachi, and kabosu.
