Black Garlic Shoyu

black garlic & yuzu infused finishing soy sauce

Introducing our Black Garlic Shoyu, an elevated take on traditional soy sauce crafted to bring deep, layered umami and incredible versatility to your kitchen. Designed as both a premium finishing sauce and a versatile cooking ingredient, this shoyu offers a depth and complexity that goes far beyond your everyday soy sauce.

Our recipe begins with traditionally brewed soy sauce and layers in the rich umami flavours of black garlic, fire roasted shallots, garlic and ginger, shiitake mushroom powder. The bright yuzu and rice vinegar used in this recipe add a subtle citrus acidity, while a touch of brown sugar balances everything out

Heat Level: 0/10 (this is a first ever for Life Is Better Spicy)

Use it straight from the bottle as a finishing sauce for sushi, sashimi, dumplings, rice bowls, noodles, grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables. In the kitchen, it brings incredible depth to stir-fries, fried rice, ramen, marinades, glazes, and Asian inspired dishes.

It also makes an exceptional base for dipping sauces and chili oils!! Just add sesame oil, chili crisp, green onion, or your favourite aromatics and make it your own.

Whether you're putting the finishing touch on a carefully prepared dish or simply looking to elevate a weeknight meal, Black Garlic Shoyu brings rich, restaurant quality umami to your home kitchen or box of take out noodles!
