Qianhe · Our Advantage in Brewing—Nationally Patented Bacterial Strain

Strain is one of the most important elements in the process of making soy sauce. It plays an extremely important role in fermenting raw materials and generating the unique “color,” “taste,” and “aroma” of Qianhe soy sauce

National patented bacterial strains

Ensure the safety of zero added soy sauce, no bacterial contamination, higher nucleotide and amino acid production, richer sauce and ester aroma, and guarantee delicious and healthy taste

Qianhe · Our Advantage in Brewing—Process

The advantages of choosing high‑salt liquid‑state fermentation for soy sauce brewing

  • High salt dilute fermentation process, constant temperature closed fermentation, low-temperature aroma condensation.
  • Rich, complex soy & ester aroma; deep, mellow umami taste with long‑lasting aftertaste:180 days, 280 days, 380 days, the longer the time, the richer the flavor and nutrients, and the better the quality and taste
  • High amino‑acid nitrogen content (≥0.8g/100mL for premium grade); abundant free amino acids & peptides; natural umami, no added MSG or artificial flavors
  • High salt concentration (18–22%) naturally inhibits harmful bacteria & spoilage microbes; stable fermentation, fewer preservatives, longer shelf life, consistent batch quality

  • Climate: Mild, humid conditions foster stable growth of key fermenting microbes (Aspergillus oryzae, yeast).
  • Microbes: Abundant native microbial flora drives full fermentation, boosting rich umami taste.
  • Water & Soil: Pristine water and nutrient-rich soil grow premium soybeans & wheat for top-tier raw materials.
  • Craft: Natural fermentation ecosystem elevates traditional sun-dew brewing, creating deeper aroma and smoother, more complex flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is “naturally brewed” soy sauce?

Naturally brewed soy sauce is produced through slow microbial fermentation, where enzymes and microorganisms transform soybeans and wheat into complex flavors.

This contrasts with chemically produced soy sauces, which are faster but lack depth.

Longer fermentation allows for:

Deeper umami complexity
Smoother, more balanced taste
Natural aroma development

Shorter processes often result in sharper, less layered flavors.

To preserve aroma and flavour:

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place
Refrigerate after opening

Clean-label refers to products made with recognisable, simple ingredients, without unnecessary artificial additives.

Chinese soy sauce is traditionally crafted for cooking, offering depth and heat stability.
Japanese soy sauce is often lighter and commonly used for dipping.

Origin plays a defining role in soy sauce, much like terroir in wine.
It influences the microbial ecosystem, climate conditions, and fermentation dynamics, all of which shape the final flavour.

Qianhe is located around 30° North latitude, a region widely recognised in China as a natural fermentation belt.
This area is known for:

A stable, moderate climate with balanced temperature and humidity
A rich and diverse native microbial community
A long-standing tradition of fermentation, also seen in Sichuan pickles and Chinese baijiu

These conditions create an ideal environment for slow, natural brewing.
The microorganisms present in the air and environment contribute to a more complex and nuanced fermentation process, allowing flavours to develop with greater depth and harmony.
