Yamasa Soy Sauce – Japanese Brewing Standard 150ml

Yamasa has brewed soy sauce in Chiba, Japan, since 1645. This 150-millilitre bottle contains their standard soy sauce — a foundational umami that works equally well as a table condiment, a cooking ingredient, or the backbone of a dipping sauce. It's the kind of bottle that disappears from the shelf because it simply works.

About this product

Yamasa soy sauce is made from soybeans, wheat, salt, and koji fermentation cultures, aged to develop a balanced flavour that is neither aggressively salty nor overly sweet. The result is a versatile sauce that enhances rather than overwhelms. A staple in Japanese kitchens and increasingly appreciated by Spanish home cooks who understand that good soy sauce is as essential as good olive oil.

How to enjoy

• Dip for sushi, sashimi, or gyoza.
• Brush over grilled fish or chicken during the final minutes of cooking.
• Whisk into salad dressings with rice vinegar and sesame oil.
• Simmer with mirin and dashi for a quick glaze.
• Keep a small dish at table for flavouring rice or soup.

⭐ Why we love this

Yamasa represents the Japanese equivalent of a heritage Spanish producer — nearly 380 years of single-minded craft perfecting one essential ingredient. This is the soy sauce that respects both tradition and restraint, delivering clean umami without the cloyness that mars lesser bottles, making it the professional choice in kitchens across Spain.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with grilled seafood in the Spanish style — a drizzle over gambas a la plancha or atún a la parrilla creates an east-meets-west moment. Also exceptional with Spanish cured fish preparations like mojama, where its subtle salinity complements rather than competes with the delicate flavours.

📍 From Spain

While Yamasa is brewed in Chiba, Japan, we source this particular expression through El Corte Inglés's rigorous international selection — the same curatorial standard that applies to our Spanish imports. For Spanish cooks seeking an umami foundation as trustworthy as Maldon salt or quality olive oil, this is the Japanese equivalent of a producer worth returning to again and again.
