Washoku Note

Most delicious soy sauce in 2017

The soy sauce fair is hold every year in Japan from 1973. Four soy sauces get  the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries award. This is No.1 award. I always use Yamabun soy sauce of Yamagataya because this brewery is near by my house. Yamagataya gets this award not only 2017, but 2016, 2014 and 2013.

Delicious soy sauce makes your cooking so good. But unfortunately above brewery not ships to oversea. If you want to try, please contact me.
