Why is black soy sauce transparent?

The raw material for transparent soy sauce is made from honjozo dark soy sauce. It all begins with the preparation of fermented and aged raw soy sauce from Fundodai's moromi brewery. Afterwards, transparent soy sauce is created through special technology to clarify and blend the soy sauce. At Fundodai, we have spent many years researching the technology to separate and refine soy sauce, and have created alcohol-free, halal products, soy sauce that uses separation technology to remove aromas and reduce salt.

The flavor of the soup stock is due to these microorganisms. That is the taste that Fundodai has inherited. The taste of transparent soy sauce has been around since 1898 and is a part of our history.
