A versatile concentrated tsuyu from Yamagen Jouzou, a miso and soy sauce maker in Toyama with over 250 years of history. Like the brand's Sokusai-Saisai soy sauce, this shiitake and kombu tsuyu draws its umami entirely from plant sources — shiitake, mushroom and kelp — with no animal-derived dashi, making it a genuinely inclusive all-purpose seasoning. The flavour is clean and rounded, with the deep, earthy richness of mushroom dashi underpinning a well-balanced soy sauce base. It works as a noodle dipping sauce, a broth base for udon and soba, a seasoning for simmered vegetables, or a flavouring for rice dishes and stir-fries — the concentrated format means a small amount goes a long way.
