Refs: | mk says just 別称, daijr says ④醬油のこと。 https://www.japan-experience.com/plan-your-trip/to-know/japanese-food/soy-sauce So popular was Yuasa soy sauce, it even made a contribution to the Japanese language. In upscale restaurants you may hear Japanese customers call soy sauce by the name, Murasaki, which means "purple", but even they may not know the origin of the usage. The color purple, used in clothing, signified high social rank, and the name was given to Yuasa soy sauce in recognition of its high quality. |
