A truly rare and unique ingredient from Kyoto prefecture. Haku Smoked Shoyu is first traditionally brewed preserving ancestral methods of the mushiro koji process
yielding an exceptional shoyu. After aging, the master craftsmen meticulously follow a cold-smoking process unique to the haku family company exclusively using
Mizunara Hard Wood, a type of Japanese Oak, which bears a beautiful, lively smoke flavor.
Takumi 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.
Shichi is Japanese for “seven” and togarashi means “peppers,” hence the name “seven spice” referring to the number of spices (plus nori) typically used in this blend. While many variations exist, shichimi togarashi typically includes red chili peppers, sanshō or sichuan peppercorns, dried orange peel, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, ground ginger, poppy seeds and nori (seaweed).
Marugoto Shibori, meaning in its natural state. This is an extremely rare and unique citrus coming from the orchards of Yakami.
