Jump for shoyu.
Shoyu, or Japanese-style soy sauce, sports a sweeter, more delicate flavor than your typical grocery store soy sauce. A splash of it lends subtle umami to everything from stir-fries to spaghetti sauce. Haku crafts its shoyu using a time-honored traditional Japanese method. Choose from 5 varieties, all ready to bring something different to your cooking.
Smoked Shoyu: cold-smoked with Japanese oak for a complex and lively smoke flavor
Whisky Barrel Aged Shoyu: aged for 13 months in Japanese whiskey barrels
Sakura Cherry Blossom Shoyu: a white shoyu that’s been aged with preserved cherry blossoms
Matsutake Shoyu: a white shoyu infused with earthy matsutake mushrooms
Black Garlic Shoyu: brimming with funky, caramel-y umami notes
