Six Specialties of Local Harvest
(1) Commitment to raw materials
The raw materials for local harvesting are soybeans from Niigata Prefecture (variety: Enrei soybeans), wheat from Niigata Prefecture (varieties: Yukichikara), and domestic salt. We procure raw materials from farmers who can see each other's faces as much as possible.
The raw materials are more than "soybeans, wheat, and salt".
(2) No component adjustment
It is a soy sauce base seasoning. Therefore, it is common sense to homogenize the taste and ingredients such as umami. However, the local fruit does not dare to adjust the ingredients. It is a soy sauce like Beaujolais Nouveau that allows you to enjoy the flavor of soybeans and wheat from the year it was harvested with soy sauce as it is.
(3) Natural brewing
In the past, soy sauce could only be brewed during the cold season, but today it can be brewed all year round. That's because it is now possible to artificially control the temperature of the maturation tank. However, the local harvest is not artificially controlled by temperature, and everything is left to the temperature of the earth.
That's what natural brewing is all about.
(4) Do not use preservatives
Soy sauce has a strong salt content, but it can become moldy. We soy sauce manufacturers are afraid of that, so we add preservatives such as alcohol and ship soy sauce. The fruits of the local crop chose not to use preservatives.
(5) Umami and gentle sweetness
The local fruit does not use any sweeteners such as sugar, but it has a gentle and sweet flavor. I think this is not because we are adding anything, but because the microorganisms are having fun brewing it. The flavor that you can't get out even if you want to put it out seems to be a trade secret of microorganisms.
We hope to know the secret someday.
(6) In case of shortage of raw materials (extra edition)
If the harvest of soybeans and wheat produced in Niigata Prefecture is low due to unseasonable weather, etc., it is not possible to manufacture local fruits.
In that case, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the product not being able to be shipped.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Let's pray to the sky together.
