xXSmokeYou420Xx not sure, but not only animal hair but also waste cotton are used to make the key ingredient “amino acid” in mixing modern soy sauce, which is technically ok to eat if the amino acid extract is pure, just a little bit disgusting that’s all...
It’s great to see even in this greedy world , who wants to maximise sales and minimise production costs there are people like Yamamoto san who gives importance to the authencity of soya sauce , and there are many other people/small scale manufacturer who still do that , hats off to all of them :)

Making soy sauce the traditional way for 150 years. Making sake the traditional way for 400 years. Pride in work. Joy in work. Soul and heart. Small, family-owned businesses making things the good old way for centuries. It's not something you often hear from the US or any other part of the world, except Asian countries.
Queasy because commercial soy sauce, depending on the formulation, can be an acidic or plain salty flavor which doesn't go well with dishes that already have a strong flavor due to the other ingredients. Imagine having a sensitive stomach, and you're eating a dish that has a soy sauce base for its soup, and the soy sauce formulation ph level is almost or is acidic, queasy is definitely the feeling.
Yeah, makes sense. Generic soy sauce does have a sharp salt flavor most of the time. I was really just checking to make sure you weren't one of the people trying to claim that "traditional" soy sauce is healthier because it doesn't have gluten or some such nonsense like that, ignoring that it has all of the same general ingredients.
I've had the same bottle of soy sauce in my fridge for over 20 years... When I order Chinese food they usually supply me with enough packages for the meal... A few months ago they forgot to include the sauce so I used mine... still tastes fresh/good after 20+ yrs.
+Be Frank soy sauce has such a high sodium content that bacteria can't develop so it never goes bad the same thing for honey and maple syrup but for the sugar content.
I bought it off of Amazon-let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. Thick, rich, savory, leaving a subtle sweet taste behind. I will never go back to Kikkoman overly processed/bitter chemicalatasting soy sauce. Soy sauce is a staple in my culture! I never want to go back! I’m serious.
I visited this island for a homestay program in 2014 and got a tour of the facilities. Dont remember if this was also the guy who spoke to us, but I can still remember the smell of the place! The whole island is beautiful!
I bought a bottle of this stuff! It's the same basic flavor as soy sauce, but it has notes of other flavors in it the way a good alcoholic drink does. It's more complex layered. It's easier to notice if you taste it side-by-side with another.
How wonderful it would be if, when you produce a video about a company like this, you provide a link to a way for your viewers to purchase their product.
After watching this video, I ordered this family's soy sauce online from a Japanese company called Japanese Taste. I have no idea as to what to expect, but I love to support a small family business that makes a product the old-fashioned way. Can't wait to try it!
All Glory to the one who tamed the stone to lay beneath his feet, tamed the steel to protect him from the storm, the allmighty conecter of worlds or as you may know him *"The Cab Driver"* .
Fermentation and flavoring via container is also the trick used to turn traditional moonshine or "white lightning", ie corn based alcohol, into bourbon! It's very specific to the cask you use, how it's charred and making sure it spends ten years getting that perfect color!
How do i buy Mr. Yamamoto's soy sauce? you guys should post links in the description when you feature artisans like this so that fans of your work can support them.
I bought the most fancy version of his soy sauce: CRANE label! I haven’t try the Jasmine label which is the least expensive one but the Crane version tasted phenomenal! Very complex layer of umami flavor! I will definitely buy it again when my bottle runs out!
It is traditional manufacturing process like these that makes food so valuable and tastier. I love the Japanese traditions. They are really healthier. I wished I could only eat fresh, traditional, artisan and organic foods.
I bought some of this, along with their ponzu and dashi soy sauce variant, and it is a revelation of flavor. Light years above anything you've had before. Go out and buy some right now. Its $20 a bottle, but 100% worth every penny.
Both Yasuos act as a counterforce in the universe. Where Yasuo Yamamoto saves up on salt by making traditional soy sauce, the Yasuo of League generates it by going 3/25
I have tried soy sauces from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and mainland China. And i can say Japan's quality soy sauces are the best. Not too salty, full of depth and flavour, sweet, and with a wine-like taste and aroma. Great for any type of cooking.
The fermented soy sauce is good to health BUT in nowdays almost all soy sauce outside Japan is not fermented , it is just Saturated vegetable fat heated and is Carcinogenic.
I am genuinely writing up a note on my almanac for finding a way to buy some of mr. Yamamoto's soy sauce. Traditionalists like him are the best friends a gourmand can have.
Thank you for your great recipe, I will be making this and uploading a video in 2 years in my cooking channel, my kids love soy sauce. So i'm sure this will be a great and long stuff to make.
A very charming story about keeping the traditional art of making Soy sauce. I thought that Japan over its years of development was be able to preserve a lot of thing in its own way, but seem like 99% of Japanese doesn’t do that. In Vietnam the traditional method of making fish sauce is also replace by industrial method that makes nothing but “a liquid combined of salt, water and artificial chemical things”. I hope we Vietnamese can learn from the Japanese to preserve what is really precious to our next generations.
I enjoyed the video but I feel obliged to point out an error that someone else may have already pointed out. Those are not bamboo barrels; the barrels are bound with bamboo but are made from another wood (cedar is what it looks like to me).
that's very true its the ties around it that are bamboo and the barrel is (after googling the Japanese character), fir. This is explained in a different video that this company did with Business Insider I think. The character for the wood used is 杉. I'm betting it's pretty important the type of wood they use too.
Wow I really cant imagine what this soy sauce would taste like. I would love to try this, instead of the salty black water they sell in common supermarkets

Soy sauce without the sharp salt taste seems interesting.

Why would soy sauce make you queasy anyways?
Queasy because commercial soy sauce, depending on the formulation, can be an acidic or plain salty flavor which doesn't go well with dishes that already have a strong flavor due to the other ingredients.

Definitely not my basis for saying it makes the stomach queasy but Gluten Free doesn't help your stomach unless you have celiac disease
