I recently visited Yokote City in Akita Prefecture and discovered a delicious soy sauce called “Yamamo.”

Akita Prefecture is known for its rice, kiritanpo, and Hinai-jidori chicken, but today I would like to introduce a soy sauce from the region.
Soy sauce is one of the most commonly used and representative condiments in Japan.
This is a long-established soy sauce that has been produced since 1867.
This soy sauce is slightly sweeter than regular soy sauce, as it contains sugar and mirin.
It also has a lower salt content, which is good for those who are health-conscious. It goes well with sashimi, simmered dishes, yakitori, and stir-fry dishes.

I found it being sold at supermarkets in Akita, so I bought a large quantity to bring back with me!
