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 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 cuisine.
A sushi restaurant can't do without following major ingredients: wasabi, fish, rice, vinegar and soy sauce, in particular Nikiri soy sauce, an indispensable seasoning for nigiri and sashimi.
