- [Usage Secret]
- [Cold Tofu (Pidan Doufu)] The most direct way to taste this soy sauce's true value. Drizzled over Century Egg Tofu, the black bean's deep richness and intense sweetness turn tofu into high-end cuisine.
- [Baiqierou (Boiled Pork)] Dip thin-sliced pork belly in this Yin You Gao and shredded ginger. Pork fat and Yin You Gao sweetness emulsify perfectly in the mouth.
- [Fried Egg] Just pouring it over a crispy Taiwanese-style fried egg (Hebao Dan) gives the ultimate rich morning feeling.

Trivia
[For Adults] 'Yin' refers to the traditional Taiwanese method of fermenting black beans. If regular 'Jiangyou Gao' is a mass product sweetened chemically, this is an art piece born of nature's bounty and artisan time. Always stocked in Taiwanese gourmets' homes; a hidden ace souvenir bulk-bought by Japanese travelers.
