I went to Nara Prefecture again with my husband to have yakuzen at my favorite restaurant. On the way there, we came across a soy sauce brewery.
Since the brewery seems to be built in the Showa era and has a retro-chic charm, I'd like to introduce the brewery to you.
The roof of the brewery looks cool too. You can see various onigawara (roof ornaments) there. The concept for these ornaments originated in ancient Rome, traveled along the Silk Road to China, and eventually made its way to Japan. They are amulets but quite rare now.
The sign of the brewery also looks standing out. It definitely makes me feel like I'm traveling into the Showa period.
Inside of the brewery , the air is filled with the rich aroma of soy sauce, as they still produce it there. I’m particulate about seasonings, so I bought one.
I've already started using the soy sauce and I like it because it has very mild flavor. I’ll probably buy it again once I finish this bottle.
After enjoying shopping, my husband and I also enjoyed the yakuzen cuisine.

In Spain we are very used to olive oil and it maintains its importance in traditional food but, little by little, with the internationalisation of foodstuffs, soya oil is appearing. The last time I tasted it was with Thai rice. Thank you Yumi @yumiyumayume
That's very interesting. We make soy sauce, but I've never heard soy oil. Thank you for sharing. I love olive oil too! Did you enjoy Thai food? I love it!
You are right, Yumi. It is soy sauce and not soybean oil, but soybean oil exists.

Wow, thank you for sharing. This is quite new information to me!
