Artisan Soy Sauce Tasting Palette

There’s more to soy sauce than what you see on grocery store shelves. This guided tasting set showcases the regional and flavor diversity of Japanese soy sauce—aged in traditional wooden barrels and brewed using time-honored techniques still practiced by fewer than 1% of producers. Designed to turn a simple pour into a rich culinary experience, the set includes four artisanal varieties, dipping dishes, and a guide with pairing suggestions that bring out the best in each bottle.

• Includes 4 artisanal soy sauce varieties, 4 ceramic tasting plates, and a tasting guide with pairing tips.
• Each soy sauce is brewed for a different length of time to develop distinct flavor profiles:
  • Shiro (3-month brew time) – Buttery, honeyed, and nutty with a touch of pineapple.
  • Usukuchi (1 year) – Notes of dates, brown sugar, and fig.
  • Koikuchi (2 years) – Peppery sweetness with hints of cherry and cola.
  • Saishikomi (3 years, double fermented) – Exceptionally rich with layers of caramel, toast, tobacco, and popcorn.
• Aged in traditional wooden barrels—a method used by fewer than 1% of soy sauce producers today.
