All over the world the most popular Japanese seasoning is soy sauce.
When you think of soy sauce, perhaps the most common thing you think of is sushi or Japanese cuisine.
But it can actually be used in a variety of ways such as in barbecue sauce, marinade, or pasta sauce.
Of course, it’s perfect for ramen noodles as well!

In the area of Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture (just north of Tokyo) the production of soy sauce began approximately 200 years ago.
At that time this area began to develop as a means to support the eating habits of the growing population of Edo (present day Tokyo).
