Vintage Soy Sauce
I found a special aged soy sauce from Yamaya in Kumamoto Prefecture.
It’s made from soy beans and wheat grown without pesticides or chemical fertilisers, and uses only natural salt. Then it’s gently matured for over 10 years.
The flavour is beautifully deep, mild, and full of umami with a touch of sweetness.
Perfect for sashimi like toro- just a little brings out the best!

Kashiwa-mochi is a traditional Japanese sweet made from rice cake, typically enjoyed on Children’s Day, 5th May, to celebrate children’s health and family prosperity. It is filled with sweet red bean paste, known as anko, and wrapped in an oak leaf. The type of filling varies by region- popular varieties include smooth paste, chunky paste, and miso paste, which has a sweet taste with a hint of savouriness. The oak leaf is not edible, but it adds a lovely fragrance to the rice cake.
