Kioke-fermented soy sauce is brewed in traditional Japanese cedar barrels (kioke, 木桶), some of which are over 100 years old and carry resident microbial communities. Most modern commercial soy sauce uses stainless-steel tanks; kioke production has contracted to a small number of specialist breweries concentrated in Shōdoshima, Yuasa, and Chiba.
