Tebiyama Broth Enriched Soy Sauce - Light ・ White ・Dark
The Tebiyama method of smoking katsuo (bonito fish) has been handed down continuously since the Edo era in Izu, Shikoku.

It takes over a month to ensure the smell of the smoking process doesn't permeate the katsuo. The original flavor and aroma of the katsuo are retained and it is said to be the best katsuobushi available. Aji Marujyu - Tebiyama is made using this precious Tebiyama katsuobushi. For sweetness premium ‘Sanuki Wasanbon sugar’ has been used to complete this superior product.
