Double-Aging Soy Sauce
Types of Soy Sauce
In Japan, Soy Sauce is classified into 5 types according to the JAS standard: White, Light, Dark, Double-Aging, and Tamari. White and Light Soy Sauces have shorter fermentation periods, resulting in a lighter color and milder flavor, with higher salt content. The most common type is Dark Soy Sauce, which constitutes most of the soy sauce.Double Aging and Tamari Soy Sauces have longer fermentation periods, providing strong umami and rich flavor, but require more time and effort to produce.
Manufacturing Process of Double-Aging Soy Sauce
Traditional soy sauce is made by fermenting soybeans and wheat to produce soy sauce koji (mold culture), which is then mixed with saltwater and aged for six months to brew soy sauce. Double-aging soy sauce, on the other hand, uses fermented raw soy sauce instead of saltwater during brewing, which is a luxurious production method requiring twice the time and effort. Due to using soy sauce itself instead of saltwater, soy sauce made by this luxurious method is characterized by its rich color, flavor, and aroma.
