This is koikuchi (濃口), the dark style that most Japanese kitchens mean when they simply say soy sauce. For centuries Japanese brewers fermented it in large wooden barrels, and a small number still do: the wood holds the microbes of the brewery from one batch to the next, which is part of why barrel-brewed soy is prized. Most of the soy sold in Japan today is made in steel tanks. Kōmi's maker is one of the families that kept the wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.9rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/masterclass\/soy-sauce\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoy Sauce: the SushiSushi guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eWhat does barrel-aged soy sauce taste like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eSoy sauce brewed slowly in wood tends to be rounder and more aromatic than fast, tank-brewed soy, with savoury depth that carries past the salt.
