A Rare Expression of Smoke, Blossom & Time

Crafted in Japan by Yugeta Shoyu, a family-run brewery established in 1923, this extraordinary smoked shōyu begins with naturally brewed soy sauce made from carefully selected soybeans, wheat, water, and salt.

It is then gently smoked over Sakura (Cherry Blossom) wood, creating a remarkably elegant flavour profile that combines deep umami, subtle sweetness, and refined smokiness.

Unlike ordinary soy sauces, Yugeta Sakura Smoked Shōyu is designed to be a finishing ingredient; a final flourish that transforms a dish from good to unforgettable.

Yugeta Sakura Smoked Shōyu is different.

The result is a sophisticated condiment that enhances ingredients rather than masking them.

A few drops are all it takes.
