FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does Black Garlic Shoyu taste like? It is much more complex than standard soy sauce. You will notice the familiar saltiness of shoyu paired with sweet, earthy, and slightly smoky notes of garlic that has been softened into a molasses-like flavor.
Is it very garlicky or pungent? Because the garlic is fermented (black garlic), it loses its sharp, raw bite. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and savory rather than spicy or overpowering.
How should I use this in my cooking? It is best used as a finishing sauce. While you can cook with it, the delicate and expensive aromatics are most noticeable when drizzled over food just before serving.
Is this product gluten-free? No. This is a traditional Shoyu base, which is brewed using wheat as part of the fermentation process.
How long does it stay fresh? When refrigerated after opening, Haku Black Garlic Shoyu will maintain its peak flavor profile for approximately 6 to 12 months.
Does it contain any artificial colors or flavors? No. The deep dark color and rich flavor are the natural result of the long fermentation of the soy and the black garlic.
