Barrel Aged Soy Sauce 300ml

Founded in 1688 in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, Shibanuma is one of Japan’s longest-established soy sauce producers, with over 330 years of craftsmanship passed down through 18 generations. The family-run brewery is renowned for preserving traditional Japanese fermentation methods, including the use of historic wooden barrels and storehouses that naturally develop the deep, rich umami character of its soy sauces. Using carefully selected soybeans and wheat from the local Ibaraki region, Shibanuma produces authentic naturally brewed soy sauces and Japanese seasonings celebrated for their complexity, smoothness, and balance. During the Edo period, its soy sauce was recognised among the finest in Japan and supplied to the shogunate, helping establish Tsuchiura as one of the country’s most respected soy sauce brewing regions. Today, Shibanuma combines centuries-old tradition with modern quality standards, exporting its premium soy sauces worldwide while remaining dedicated to authenticity, craftsmanship, and the art of natural fermentation.
