Miso Tamari – Hon Tamari

This Mame Miso is made with non-GMO soybeans sourced from trusted farmers, salt, and underground water from the Yahagi River.
Miso Tamari is the rich liquid that naturally seeps to the surface at the moment the long-aged Mame Miso is fully matured.
It looks like soy sauce made only from soybeans and salt, but it is not soy sauce—it is a thick, concentrated essence packed with deep umami.

The origin of soy sauce

Soy sauce is produced by fermenting and aging soybeans and wheat with koji and saltwater, specifically to create a liquid seasoning.
Its origin lies in the Japanese hishio, an ancient fermented paste.
With fermentation techniques introduced from China, koku-hishio, a fermented food made from soybeans and grains, was created.
In the fermentation barrels, liquid would naturally separate and was collected—this is considered the beginning of soy sauce.
Later, during the production of Kinzanji Miso, the liquid that seeped out was refined and used as seasoning, evolving into modern soy sauce.
In other words, the roots of soy sauce are very close to miso tamari, the liquid that emerges naturally during miso making.

Exceptionally Rare: Just 0.3% Yield from 10 Tons of Miso

It contains more than three times the umami components of ordinary soy sauce.
Unlike typical soy sauce, it has a rich, thick texture.
We recommend using about one-third to one-quarter of the amount you would normally use.
Please enjoy this extraordinary concentration of soybean umami, slowly and mindfully, appreciating every drop carefully aged to perfection.
