Features of 'Quick-Brewed Fish Sauce' While regular fish sauce is very high in salt (20~30%) and has high histamine levels (100~400ppm), 'quick-brewed fish sauce' can be made without salt, with a histamine level around 10ppm. *This time, the 'Mackerel Fish Sauce' contains 0% alcohol and contains no added preservatives, so the salt content has been adjusted to 15%. While typical fish sauce fermentation takes six months to a year, we produce them in just 1 to 3 days. (In joint research with the University of Fukui, we have increased the fermentation rate of fish sauce by 30 times.) By carefully removing the oils unique to handmade products, the fish sauce lacks the typical odor of fish sauce and is easy for anyone to enjoy. Features of 'Mackerel Fish Sauce' Fish sauce contains a lot of amino acids derived from animal protein. (Especially rich in essential amino acids essential for the human body, such as lysine and arginine.) Among fish sauces, mackerel with blue-backed fish is especially rich in beneficial amino acids, as well as DHA and peptides like 'taurine' that help lower blood pressure. The fact that these peptides and taurine lower blood pressure has also been confirmed in animal experiments conducted at Fukui Prefectural University. We are committed to being additive-free, using no seasonings, sweeteners, or preservatives whatsoever. (The sweetness is a natural umami.) The brewing water is mineral-rich groundwater from Mt. Hakusan, drawn from 30 meters underground. Nutritional Information (per 100ml) (Estimate) Energy: 71.5kcal Protein: 14.9g Fat: 0.0g Carbohydrates: 3.1g Salt equivalent: 15.8g
