There are many artisan-made shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) producers and many artisan-made products made all across Japan. The finest and most unique shoyu soy sauce for sale are produced by small, family-run shoyu breweries that use quality ingredients and traditional, labor-intensive production methods.
