Brewed and aged for two years in kioke wooden barrels, this mild-tasting soy sauce is made with natural stock from bonito flakes and kelp, ensuring a rich umami flavor without any preservatives. Ideal for enhancing a variety of dishes, this pack of two 18oz bottles is perfect for culinary enthusiasts looking to add authentic Japanese flavor to their cooking. ## Description Using Yamaroku's Aged 2 Years Kikubishio Soy Sauce as the base, the Kiku Tsuyu Soy Sauce is made with the use of dried bonito flakes, dried kelp, Japanese mirin (sweet cooking rice wine) and has a bit of sweetness using sugar from the southern Japanese island of Tanegashima. "Kiku" is the flower Chrysanthemum and, like the Cherry Blossom, it is chosen as a representative flower symbol of Japan. Kiku can also be interpreted as being "Ultimate" or "Final", and Yamaroku wanted this aged soy sauce to be the ultimate symbol. "Tsuyu" means soup mixed with soy sauce. Suggested usage are with soumen (fine white noodles), udon (thick wheat noodles), soba (buckwheat noodles), food cooked in boiling water, oden (winter dish with various ingredients like boiled eggs, processed fish cakes, daikon radish, etc. stewed in light soy flavored broth) and as sauce for tempura (battered and deep fried seafood or vegetables). No preservatives or chemical seasonings are used. Kioke is a wooden container used to ferment Japanese-style food. A microbe for fermentation settles in the kioke which turns it into the best brewing container. The basic ingredients for Japanese cuisine were brewed in a kioke back in Japan's Edo period during the years of 1603-1868. The fermentation of a microbe is required for making all the seasonings have the highest quality of taste. These were only possible through the use of the kioke which was hailed as the best container for brewing the seasonings. The soy sauce industry today is more reliant on industrial production of the sauce, and now less than 1% of soy sauce production is brewed the traditional way using kioke. This method for creating authentic Japanese cuisine is slowly fading away due to the shift of mass manufacturing. In Japan, only 1 company remains that produces the kioke barrels. Get a taste of Japanese history almost lost in modern times by trying and enjoying this classic condiment done right. ## Features - Save Money With Pack Sizes - Brewed And Aged For 2 Years With Ancient Method Of Using Kioke Wooden Barrels - Mild Tasting Soy Sauce Made With Stock From Bonito Flakes & Kelp - No Preservatives Used - Ideal Use With Broth For Soup, Oden, Boiled Or Stewed Dishes And Tempura ## Images ![Japanese Yamaroku Aged 2 Years Soy Sauce With Bonito And Kelp Stock "Kiku Tsuyu", 18oz (532ml), Pack of 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7156kEgVHhL.jpg) ![Japanese Yamaroku Aged 2 Years Soy Sauce With Bonito And Kelp Stock "Kiku Tsuyu", 18oz (532ml), Pack of 2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m2SjWOwFL.jpg) ![Japanese Yamaroku Aged 2 Years Soy Sauce With Bonito And Kelp Stock "Kiku Tsuyu", 18oz (532ml), Pack of 2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710KgLm6mKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars pleasant soy sauce *by W***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021* i don't have any expertise with specialty soy sauces like this one.....let me say that its nothing like any western soy sauce that you can buy at the supermarket.....this is a delicate soy sauce with a complex flavor....if you have had 2 beers and you are going to eat some fast food chicken fried rice from the takeout joint then don't waste your money on this soy sauce, any old soy sauce will do.............but if you have a choice piece of moist fresh salmon steak pan fried to perfection served on a bed of properly cooked and blossomed plain white rice served with tea then this soy sauce is probably the best possible accompaniment ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well packed, Great product. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019* Was abit concerned with shipping glass bottles. But was packed extreamely well and got to our rural home just fine. The soy sauce itself... Bar none the best you will find imho for the $ and depth of flavor. If you like Soy but are turned off by the β€œSalty” aftertaste of other ones this is the sauce for you, lots of depth of flavor.. and yes Salty... But it doesn’t Taste like saltwater. Obviously I liked the first bottle I tried... This double pack may last my family 6 months... but the flavor it imparts I find using it in other dishes vs just salt. So may not last so long. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30085255-japanese-yamaroku-aged-2-years-soy-sauce-with-bonito-kelp](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30085255-japanese-yamaroku-aged-2-years-soy-sauce-with-bonito-kelp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
