Sauces and condiments from Japan — first made in Yanai, Yamaguchi
Saishikomi shoyu (twice-brewed)再仕込み醤油
Saishikomi is soy sauce brewed twice. A normal soybean and wheat koji is mixed not with brine but with raw soy sauce pressed from an earlier mash, then ripened for a year and a half to two years or more. The result is dark, thick and rich in nitrogen, yet lower in salt than koikuchi.

At a glance
Saishikomi is soy sauce brewed twice. A normal soybean and wheat koji is mixed not with brine but with raw soy sauce pressed from an earlier mash, then ripened for a year and a half to two years or more. The result is dark, thick and rich in nitrogen, yet lower in salt than koikuchi. Made in 5 steps over 18 months. The longest step, ripen the second moromi, takes at least 18 months (MAFF 2023). Salt is 15 % (宇都宮由佳 (Utsunomiya Y.)). Koji mould (kōji-kin) grown on the soybean and wheat koji does most of the fermenting.
The koji is the same as koikuchi, but it is packed in raw soy sauce instead of brine and ripened for one and a half to two years or more. MAFF describes it as thicker and richer in taste and colour than koikuchi, with somewhat less salt.
Ibaraki saishikomiUnheated raw soy sauce from domestic whole soybeans, wheat and salt is used to brew domestic soybean and wheat koji a second time, then aged long.
Safety
MAFF says its salt is somewhat lower than koikuchi's, and a Yamaguchi maker puts it near 15 %. The JAS standard asks for a well fermented and ripened sauce with no off-taste, off-smell or mould.
Takata Denbē, fourth head of the Yanai house Takata (Tomoya), is said in the Takata kanro shōyu record of 1895 to have devised it around the Tenmei era (1781–1789). Presented to the lord Kikkawa, it was praised as "kanro, kanro" (delicious), which gave kanro shōyu its name. By the Anei years (1772–1781) Yanai soy sauce was sold to nearby islands and across the Seto Inland Sea, and by 1908 Yanai merchants shipped as far as Hawaii, Korea and Taiwan. A 1978 paper reports it brewed in 23 prefectures by then.
