This non-additive soy sauce from Kikkoman has the perfect balance of color, taste, and aroma making it the perfect condiment for a variety of cookings and dishes.

Most soy sauce is made from defatted soybeans to achieve quick mass production. However, this product uses whole soybeans because soybean fat has three benefits: protects from aroma deterioration; resolves into glycerin during fermentation which provides a natural sweet taste; and prevents oxidation thus freshness lasts for a longer period.

This Japanese soy sauce, or also called shoyu, has been produced combining traditional Japanese brewing methods and modern manufacturing technology which makes this sauce unique. A must-try product who seek for a real Japanese grocery.

Features

• This soy sauce has a clear red-brown color while most counterparts have an opaque dark brown color (some are almost black) due to color additives. The traditional Japanese soy sauce is visually beautiful in color.
• Kikkoman Soy Sauce adopts a production method called “honjozo”, the traditional brewing method that utilizes the natural power of microorganisms for the fermentation process. This provides a distinctive yet pleasant aroma of sweetness and savory. In contrast, chemically flavored soy sauces have an unpleasant sharp smell.
• Soy sauces containing additives have an unnatural viscous texture but Kikkoman’s natural soy sauce has a smooth and soft texture.
• The taste of this product is not only salty but also sweet and sour. These complex flavors make dishes tastier. On the other hand, soy sauces containing additives tend to have only one flavor with such flavor being too strong that it persistently remains in your mouth.
• It comes in an easy-to-use dispenser that can be placed on a tabletop and does not drip.
