{"product_id":"comp05-item01","title":"106-1\/Kimaru Soy Sauce 310ml Standard \/ Everyday Cooking Size","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Shoyu\" is a Japanese-style seasoning created to make Japanese home cooking easier and more delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt combines the fundamental Japanese ingredients of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar in a balance that makes it easy to use in everyday cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, since ancient times, people have adjusted the taste of dishes by adding a little soy sauce, mirin, or sugar depending on the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeriyaki, ginger pork, nikujaga (meat and potato stew), oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl), gyudon (beef rice bowl), grilled fish, simmered dishes...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese people eat these kinds of dishes, where the taste is adjusted little by little, almost every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, in reality, creating this delicate balance of flavors is surprisingly difficult even for Japanese people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn busy days, measuring out multiple seasonings can feel troublesome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Shoyu\" is designed to make it easier to enjoy that \"sense of determining the taste\" in Japanese home cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just sweet, nor is it just salty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's finished to allow you to enjoy the deep umami flavor characteristic of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese cuisine, \"umami\" isn't simply about a strong flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt encompasses sweetness, saltiness, acidity, and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these is layered subtly to create a naturally harmonious overall flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese chefs create depth in their dishes by layering these small \"hidden flavors.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" embodies this philosophy of Japanese cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar; apples, lemons, onions, and ginger are carefully pickled in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, these ingredients are all in season in Japan from autumn to winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese ingredients have accumulated plenty of aroma, sweetness, and umami during the cold season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" is made using these seasonal ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe apples used are \"Fuji apples.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, this variety is known for its excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe use ingredients grown with reduced pesticide use and prepare our soy sauce during its peak season when the aroma is at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe use reduced-pesticide lemons from Kumamoto and Ehime prefectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese lemons are slightly different from the strongly acidic lemons of other countries; they have a milder aroma and naturally balance the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \"Kimaru Soy Sauce,\" the subtle acidity and aroma of these lemons tighten the overall flavor, creating a light and deep aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe use onions grown with reduced pesticide use from Awaji Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAwaji Island onions are particularly famous throughout Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe region has soil and a climate suitable for onion cultivation, and is known for growing onions with strong sweetness, aroma, and umami.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen heated, the natural sweetness spreads, giving the entire seasoning a gentle richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe use pesticide-free ginger grown in the Shimanto River basin of Kochi Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shimanto River is known as one of the most beautiful rivers in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a rich aroma and a refreshing spiciness that enhances the overall flavor of dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, there is a food culture that values ​​seasonal ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, \"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" is not mass-produced year-round, but rather brewed while considering the aroma and condition of the ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTypical \"noodle soup bases\" are often made primarily from seafood broth such as bonito flakes, and are used in Japanese households not only for noodle dishes but also for various other Japanese dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, seasonings made with seafood broth tend to change in flavor easily after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, even Japanese people sometimes find it difficult to use it all up while maintaining its deliciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" is made primarily from plant-derived ingredients, without using any animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, the balance of flavor is relatively stable, and it is made to allow you to enjoy a deep umami flavor down to the last drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverseas, even if you stock up on individual ingredients like soy sauce, mirin, and sake, it's not easy to recreate the balanced flavors of Japanese cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany people struggle with the delicate seasoning unique to Japanese food, finding it too sweet, too salty, or lacking in umami.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" is designed to make it easier to enjoy the flavors of Japanese home cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can easily make everyday Japanese dishes like teriyaki, yakitori, sukiyaki, ginger pork, yakiniku, stir-fries, simmered dishes, nikujaga, oyakodon, gyudon, nikudofu, and kinpira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, in Japan, marinating ingredients in seasonings before grilling is a long-standing and popular cooking method for meat and fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, by adding grated garlic and sesame oil to \"Kimaru Soy Sauce,\" rubbing it into meat, and marinating it overnight, you can enjoy a Japanese-style \"marinated and grilled\" yakiniku.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavor permeates the meat thoroughly, resulting in a surprisingly deep and complex taste even at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs well with fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, there's a culture of \"tsuke-yaki,\" where fish is marinated in seasonings before grilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong these, \"Yuan-yaki\" is a delicate fish dish characteristic of Japanese cuisine, popular in Japanese restaurants and high-end eateries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYuan-yaki is made by marinating fish in soy sauce, sake, mirin, and a citrus-based aroma, then grilling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe citrus aroma and subtle acidity enhance the fish's umami while creating a light and elegant aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese cuisine, this \"layering of aromas\" technique is highly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Yuan-yaki requires meticulous adjustments to the seasoning ratio, marinating time, and grilling time, making it a somewhat time-consuming dish even for Japanese people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rarely made at home and is enjoyed as a \"slightly special fish dish\" at Japanese restaurants and high-end eateries. \"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" already has lemons infused into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, simply marinating fish in it allows you to easily enjoy the uniquely Japanese, deep flavor of \"tsuke-yaki\" (marinated and grilled fish) at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also delicious simply as a dipping sauce for steamed or grilled vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural sweetness of the vegetables combined with the umami of \"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" creates a satisfying flavor even in simple dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs well with tofu dishes; simply adding plenty of grated ginger and \"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" to chilled tofu creates a truly authentic Japanese home-style taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, everyday home cooking—such as stir-frying or simmering vegetables and preparing tofu—is enjoyed not only in special restaurant dishes but also in daily meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashoku (Japanese cuisine) was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe registration included not only famous dishes such as tempura, sushi, and sashimi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese food culture itself, including everyday home cooking, is highly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Kimaru Soy Sauce\" is designed to make the familiar flavors of everyday Japanese meals more easily accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimply using it on meat, vegetables, or tofu from your refrigerator allows you to easily enjoy authentic Japanese

overseas, you can enjoy new flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, marinating meat with hot sauce allows you to enjoy a new kind of umami flavor, different from traditional Japanese
