Soy Sauce - Shoyu (Murasaki/Purple), light, Shizen no Aji

In traditional restaurants, the term murasaki is used instead of shoyu. Murasaki means purple or violet. This is not only a poetic description, but it also sounds more polite as it is an indirect expression. Light purple is a light soy sauce typical of the Kansai region. However, light soy sauce is usually higher in salt and therefore not suitable for final seasoning or raw consumption. Suehiro has developed this special shoyu with a higher koji content and therefore higher umami and natural sweetness. It is excellent for highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients. It pairs well with tofu salad, steak, roast beef, and egg dishes. With mild rice vinegar and freshly ground pepper, it is superb with dim sum and gyoza.
