Special Edition for St. Catherine’s Monastery
:quality(10):blur(10,10))
At first glance, a monastery and soy sauce may seem like an unusual pairing, and it is. But it’s exactly what sparked a collaboration grounded in shared curiosity. Moved by the beauty, the deep connection to nature, the craftsmanship, and the devotion and knowledge of the monastery, a natural partnership emerged. Sometimes, things just feel right.
The monastery’s unique microclimate and hands-on approach offer ideal conditions for cultivating unique seeds and crops on a small scale. Today, Sint-Catharinadal serves as a vital location for our crop trials, knowledge sharing, and gaining old, but new, but old, but new (agricultural) insights.

To honor our collaboration, we’ve created a special edition: Original Tomasu soy sauce, aged in a former Champagne barrel and completely dedicated to the monastery. One of the sisters unknowingly contributed by decorating the bottle with a beautiful hand-painted design and a saying:
“In simplicity lies the deepest truth.”
A phrase that perfectly captures our gratitude for the partnership and all the remarkable people/volunteers we’ve come to know along the way.

The bottles were launched June 21st at the H3H Biennial, in Oosterhout, and will be sold exclusively at the St. Catherine’s Monastery shop. (Kloosterdreef 3 – Oosterhout)
