is this considered a black soy sauce?

I'm not one to judge solely by color.

Is this usukuchi shoyu?

I do not believe it is. The color is darker than usukuchi soy sauce and not as salty. I use it for dipping.

is there sea salt in this?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Ingredients for this product is Soy, wheat, salt. The salt used is salt obtained by evaporating seawater.

Is alcohol on the ingredients list?

No, it isn't. The ingredients are only soybean(Non-GMO), wheat(Non-GMO), and salt. Made by the natural brewing method without adding alcohol.
