Sobre este ingrediente
Niche Japanese soy sauce variant produced primarily in Aichi (Hekinan, Mie). Distinguished by very light golden colour and high wheat content (90%+, vs ~50% in standard koikuchi), with proportionally less soybean. Used as a 'colourless' soy sauce in Kyoto and chef-sushi cuisines where koikuchi would darken delicate ingredients (clear soup, white-fleshed fish). Production is small (under a dozen producers); Yamasa Shouyu and Hekinan-region niche producers anchor supply. Distinct from existing soy-sauce entries.
