DOYOUBO proudly announces its recognition at the 2026 Great Taste Awards, one of the world’s most respected food accreditation programs organized by the Guild of Fine Food in the United Kingdom.

This year, Kombu Artisan Lite Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce and Kombu Golden Smile Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce were both awarded the prestigious 3-Star Great Taste Award, the competition’s highest distinction. Naturally Brewed Brown Soybean Soy Sauce also received a 2-Star Award, reflecting DOYOUBO’s continued dedication to naturally brewed craftsmanship, carefully selected ingredients, and exceptional flavor.

The Great Taste Awards are judged through a rigorous blind-tasting process, where products are evaluated solely on taste, aroma, texture, and overall quality. In 2026, more than 15,000 products were entered, with only 2% achieving the coveted 3-Star rating.

What endures is the experience—
the moment a bottle is opened,
and authenticity speaks for itself.
