Is Soy Sauce the New Wine? The Answer is at Fukuman Soy's Booth This Sunday!


There's a bar in Fukuoka whose walls are lined with bottles of every vintage and origin imaginable, all brewed to perfection. Except it's not alcohol in those bottles; it's soy sauce.

Bar Fukuman Soy Sauce is the modern reincarnation of the old company Fukuman Soy Sauce, which first opened in 1821 selling sold top-quality sauce to shops in Fukuoka. Closed for 50 years, it was resurrected in 2009 by the soy sauce sommelier Daichi Ohama, who continued making Fukuman soy sauce using its traditional recipes. The only thing he changed in the new Fukuman shop was that he established a bar devoted exclusively to to this essential Japanese condiment.
