As popularised by the Netflix series Salt Fat Acid Heat, this luxurious ponzu sauce by Yamaroku is made using their signature twice-brewed, barrel-aged soy sauce seasoned with Yuzu and Sudachi citrus fruits, as well as kelp and bonito for added umami richness. Yamaroku is a 5th generation family business who have been crafting what is considered to be the finest Japanese soy and ponzu sauces for over 150 years.

Processing
The signature twice-brewed soy sauce from Yamaroku is aged up to four years in red cedar barrels, known as Kioke in Japanese, where the sauce ferments with the help of microorganisms that naturally live in the wood. No artificial fermentation aids are used. This traditional method now only accounts for 1% of soy sauce production in Japan. On learning that there was only one Kioke barrell maker left in Japan, Yamaroku brewmaster Yasuo Yamamoto took it upon himself to learn how to make Kioke in order that future generations can continue to make soy sauce in the traditional way.
