Most of the smoked soy sauce products available in the market are made by adding an artificial smoky aroma liquid; however, Takasago Soy Sauce’s Organic Smoked Marudaizu Soy Sauce is actually smoked with cherry wood that complements the soy sauce flavor. This natural smoke infusing technique, perfected through the company’s extensive research, is a laborious process that requires high skill. Made with organic soybeans grown in Hokkaido and organic barley harvested in Japan, the soy sauce is brewed and aged in the natural environment of the Izumo region using the company’s own traditional method since its establishment in 1877. Just a dash of Organic Smoked Marudaizu Soy Sauce adds profound umami and smoky aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_qa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_actab\"\u003e\n\u003cinput name=\"tabs\" id=\"cp_tabfour01\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003clabel for=\"cp_tabfour01\"\u003eHow to use this Organic Smoked Marudaizu Soy Sauce:\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_actab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis smoked soy sauce delivers a unique and complex flavor, which can be used in moderation as a finishing sauce.

It is superb with olive oil and garlic flavors, so you can enjoy it with dishes like peperoncino pasta and ajillo. Adding the smoked soy sauce to ketchup makes an original, robust sauce. Another cooking idea is yaki-onigiri (grilled or pan-fried rice balls): Mix the smoked soy sauce into white rice, form it into a ball shape, and then grill or pan-fry it to enjoy the combination of smoky and charred aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_qa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_actab\"\u003e\n\u003cinput name=\"tabs\" id=\"cp_tabfour02\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003clabel for=\"cp_tabfour02\"\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cp_actab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoybean, Wheat, Salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Takasago Soy Sauce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36364540018841,"sku":"UMCR40201 (B018)","price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/3958\/4820\/products\/13_OrganicSmokedMarudaizuSoySauce.jpg?v=1613540852"},{"product_id":"herb-wasabi-wasabi-extra-virgin-olive-oil","title":"Herb Wasabi (Wasabi-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil), 6.34 oz","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlending hon-wasabi (Japanese wasabi) with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) made in Spain, this oil exhibits the rich aroma and taste from hon-wasabi, creating an exciting harmony with EVOO.
