A new seasoning based on transparent soy sauce! “Yuzu Dance Ponzu with Crystal soy sauce” was developed with the concept of “dancing yuzu peels”. When it comes to ponzu, “black ponzu” is common sense. By using Crystal soy sauce, we were able to make ponzu vinegar that values the color of yuzu. The naming of Yuzu Mai was inspired by the “dancing of the yuzu peels” on the table when yuzu was used for cooking in the past. We also use domestically produced yuzu from the Kumamoto prefecture while the peels of yuzu come from the Kyushu region.

Our Commitment To Fresh Soy Sauce

Of the approximately 1,100 soy sauce manufacturers in Japan, it is said that less than 200 of them make raw soy sauce, making us one of the most unique soy sauce manufacturers in Japan. For example, in Kumamoto prefecture, where Fundodai is located, only 3 out of the 45 companies in the prefecture manufacture raw soy sauce. Therefore, we are able to develop Crystal soy sauce because we made it from raw soy sauce.
