1. traditional Earthen Jar Fermentation: Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft

The brand owns one of the largest traditional earthen jar brewing yards in Chongqing, with thousands of handmade clay jars arranged neatly. Relying on Jiangjin’s favorable climate with abundant sunlight and moderate temperature, the brand follows the strict ancient brewing process: raw material selection, starter making, jar filling, sun exposure, manual stirring, pressing and sterilization, with no shortcuts taken and no fermentation time shortened.
Hanshi Wagang Soy Sauce is made from high-quality soybeans, wheat and wheat bran as core raw materials. After natural starter making, it is sealed in earthen jars with only clean water and salt for fermentation, undergoing more than 150 days of sun exposure and night dew. The four-season temperature difference promotes the full transformation of grain nutrients, producing rich amino acids and polypeptides, resulting in bright reddish-brown soy sauce with strong, long-lasting bean aroma and mellow aftertaste. Its sun vinegar is brewed from pure grains like glutinous rice, rice and wheat bran, adopting traditional solid-state fermentation technology with a longer sun-curing period. The vinegar features clear liquid, soft sourness, pure grain fragrance, no pungent taste, vastly different from blended vinegars on the market.
