Fundodai Heisei Sweet Soy Sauce – Kyushu Premium Japanese Shoyu, 100ml

Fundodai Heisei Sweet Soy Sauce is a premium Kyushu-style shoyu unlike anything you'll find on an ordinary supermarket shelf. Crafted to commemorate Fundodai's 150th anniversary, Heisei is a special-brewed sweet soy sauce made exclusively with Kyushu-grown soybeans and wheat, sweetened with Wasanbon — the refined artisanal sugar beloved by Japanese confectioners — and deepened with Akashu, a traditional sake unique to Kumamoto Prefecture. The result is a soy sauce with elegant, clean sweetness, a rich umami depth, and a glossy finish that transforms every dish it touches.

What Makes Fundodai Heisei Sweet Soy Sauce Exceptional

Most sweet soy sauces achieve their sweetness through added sweeteners. Heisei takes a different approach: Wasanbon sugar — a hand-refined Japanese sugar with a delicate, complex sweetness — provides a clean, refined note that artificial sweeteners simply can't replicate. The addition of Akashu, Kumamoto's centuries-old ceremonial sake, adds a subtle richness and a beautiful glaze-like sheen that makes grilled meats and sashimi genuinely shine.

Use it as a dipping sauce for sashimi, sushi, and horse sashimi (basashi); brush it over grilled meats, chicken, or fish for a lacquered finish; or try it as a secret umami boost in Italian and French sauces — its depth works across cuisines. A 100ml bottle, refined enough to gift, practical enough to use every day.
