Honjozo Dark Soy Sauce, 500ml · Yama

Yama Honjozo Special Selection is a dark Japanese soy sauce with a fuller and richer character than light soy sauce. Its flavor is deep, salty-balanced, and full of umami, making it particularly suitable for dishes where you want to add color, depth, and the presence of high-quality soy.

The sauce is suitable for everyday Japanese and Asian cooking: stir-fries, noodles, rice, marinades, fish, chicken, tofu, vegetables, dipping sauces, homemade teriyaki, and stews. It also works well in more Western dishes when you want to add a deep layer of flavor to roasting, sauces, and seasoning meat or vegetables in the oven.

This is a useful base sauce for an Asian pantry, especially for those who cook a lot and want a dark soy sauce that adds both flavor and color to the dish.

Tips
Use in a marinade with ginger, garlic, mirin, or sugar for a deep Japanese flavor.
Especially suitable for stir-fries, noodles, fried rice, tofu, chicken, and fish.
For a quick dipping sauce, mix with a little rice vinegar, sesame oil, and green onion.
As this is a dark and rich soy sauce, it is recommended to start with a small amount and add to taste.
