Did you know that Kyushu, Japan's third largest island, is famous for its sweet soy sauce? The further south you go, the sweeter it gets. It is, however, far less sugar-saturated and syrupy than Western versions.
Existence of this sweet soy sauce is closely linked to the history of Japan, which during the Edo period began trading with the West, and more specifically with the Netherlands. This trade began on Kyushu, in Nagasaki region, with a major ingredient, sugar, which was quickly adopted by the locals, who began to incorporate it into their cooking.
With sugar cane cultivation also concentrated on the island of Kyushu, its use in many seasonings was a logical consequence.
It is the perfect accompaniment to izakaya dishes such as sashimi and stews, marinades and sauces. Iki" sweet soy sauce is a high-quality sauce.
It is made from whole soybeans grown in Fukuoka (Kyushu) and double-fermented. The long, tedious and complex process means that this soy sauce is made only from raw, unheated soy sauce, to preserve its natural flavours.
Mixture is sweetened with sugar syrup and molasses. Our artisan selects only the finest raw materials from specific regions of Japan and renowned farms (wheat and soy from Fukuoka, salt from Nagasaki...). This sauce has a strong natural flavor that brings out the full flavor of raw fish and seafood.
Thick, with a fine balance of sugar and salt, a nice acidity, good length and light cocoa accents, this sauce is ideal for sashimi, oily fish, yaki onigiri, eggs, red meats (beef, duck), sautéed noodles, boiled vegetables and simmered dishes (giving them a richer flavor).
