Tsuyu is a flavourful and versatile stock. The goodness of shiitake mushrooms is highly concentrated and blended with our own soya sauce. The additional of organic mirin creates a deep and delicious savoury flavour with a hint of sweetness. In fact tsuyu means "plum rain/rainy season" in Japanese, what better than a comforting and steaming bowl of noodles and tsuyu while the rain batters against the kitchen windows?

Umami - the fifth taste
Savoury, earthy, mushroomy - none of them quite fit the bill when trying to describe the ever illusive umami taste. A part of everyday vocabulary in Japan for years, where the word itself means ‘deliciousness’, umami is becoming increasingly well known in the UK. Professional chefs and household cooks alike are picking up on its many taste benefits.
Clearspring Organic Tsuyu is rich in umami and incorporating it into your cooking will give your dishes that instant and unique savoury hit.
