Soy sauce certified as organic. The names "organic" and "organic" cannot be used simply because the cultivation process was pesticide-free. A product can only be called "organic" once it has been certified by a certification body registered by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, known as "Organic JAS." To receive "Organic JAS" certification, strict conditions must be met, including not only the absence of chemical fertilizers, but also that no pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used on the soil for more than two years, and that environmental and sanitation management, such as cleaning tanks, is in place during the production process. "Specially Selected Organic Soy Sauce" also undergoes strict quality control, maintaining a high level of quality to live up to the trust placed in it by consumers.
