Family Tradition at its Finest.

Since 1939, the Amano family name has stood for quality in naturally aged whole bean soy sauce and miso (soybean and rice paste). Drawing on three generations of Japanese brewing and miso tradition, Amano products are hand-crafted and carefully aged using select organic ingredients. We have our supplier’s assurances that these materials are GMO free. Amano products are Kosher certified and Organic certified.

An artisan production, this third-generation Japanese family (a grandson using his grandfather’s recipe) locally produces the high-end soy sauce in Richmond, BC. Only small batches are made, like a boutique wine. He follows traditional brewing methods, using big drums in a heated room for a week that work to magically and mysteriously change the taste. It’s a good old family tradition! There also exists a special, very expensive, batch from Japan is brought in under their label that is wheat-free.

Interested in a few saucy facts? Good soy sauce, when swished around in a white dish, should be a reddish colour and should not smell salty. And Tamari soy sauce is the first pressing of soy sauce — much like extra virgin oil.

Amano soy sauce is available in the following sizes: 18 L, 4/4 L, 12/500 ml, 12/250 ml
