Yufuin Shoyuya Honten (湯布院醤油屋本店)
This soy sauce shop stands on the Yunotsubo Kaido. Operating out of a building with an exterior modeled after a traditional Japanese home, many international tourists make their way here. The shop's selection includes products you can only find here, such as Takumi Shoyu, a choice dashi soy sauce; and Kabosu Shoyu, a soy sauce made with the kabosu citrus fruit that is one of Oita's specialty products. The shop also sells Japanese tsukemono pickles and tsukudani soy sauce boiled preserved foods perfect for enjoying on top of a bowl of rice, as well as confections made with soy sauce such as karinto fried dough sticks, maruboro biscuits, and nure senbei moist rice crackers. The shop's exquisite Shoyu Pudding is particularly popular; made with a dash of soy sauce, the hint of soy sauce flavor which can be tasted amidst the sweetness of the pudding is addicting.

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
