Description
Kikkoman — Fresh Raw (Nama) Soy Sauce, 450 ml
Overview
This is not ordinary soy sauce: Kikkoman’s nama (raw) shoyu is freshly pressed and bottled without heat treatment, keeping a softer, rounder, more aromatic taste than pasteurized sauce.
The secret to keeping it fresh is the double-structure bottle: an inner pouch collapses as you pour, creating a vacuum so the sauce barely contacts air. Kikkoman states the flavor stays fresh for about three months after opening. The soft bottle dispenses only when squeezed — easy drop-by-drop control.

FAQ
What does “raw” (nama) soy sauce mean?
Regular soy sauce is heat-treated (pasteurized) before bottling; nama shoyu skips that step. The result is a noticeably softer, fresher, more fragrant sauce — especially good used raw over sashimi, tofu or rice.
Why does it contain alcohol?
A small amount of alcohol protects the unpasteurized sauce from spoilage — a standard method for nama shoyu. Because of it, the product is not suitable for those avoiding alcohol for religious or personal reasons.
Do I need to refrigerate it after opening?
The vacuum double-bottle is designed to keep the sauce fresh at room temperature for about 3 months after opening. A cool, dark cupboard is fine; refrigeration extends the aroma even further.
Is this the real Japanese version?
Yes — we sell the Japanese domestic release bought from regular retail channels in Japan, not an export or licensed copy made elsewhere. We are based in Kobe and ship from Japan.
How long does delivery take, and will there be customs fees?
We dispatch from Kobe within 2–6 business days and provide tracking. Delivery time and possible import duties depend on your country; any customs fees are charged by your local authorities.
