Since 1923, Yugeta Shoyu has been crafting soy sauce in Tawame, Saitama Prefecture. Fourth generation owner Mr. Yohichi Yugeta brews this soy sauce with traditional methods and uses Japan-grown wheat and soybeans.

This soy sauce is smoked with wood from Japanese cherry trees. It adds a smoky flavor to dishes and is perfect for vegetables, meats, seafood, and even fruits and cheeses.

We had the opportunity to talk to the founder of Japanese Pantry—learn more about their craftsmanship and story on our blog here.
