They continue to use the same enormous wooden fermentation barrels (kioke) that have been in use since the Edo period.

As a result, the delicate aromas produced by fermentation yeasts, the natural sweetness from broken-down soy proteins, and even fine bubbles remain alive in the bottle. The colour is lighter and more translucent than regular soy sauce, and the aroma rises to the nose the moment it touches the palate.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eA world of fermentation familiar to European palates.\u003c\/strong\u003e Just as French cheese matures in caves, Italian balsamic vinegar ages for decades in wooden barrels, and German sauerkraut ferments naturally — Japanese soy sauce is made on exactly the same principle.

To draw a familiar European comparison: if regular soy sauce is pasteurised milk, raw soy sauce is closer to fresh, unprocessed milk.
