Honestly, you can taste the difference! Its the best soy we've found!

This soy sauce was a marvelously pleasant surprise to someone brought up on the Westernized version of soy sauce we are all familiar with here in the states. This product is made by, and for, the Japanese market, and it is a HUGE improvement over what most of us are "used to". The flavor is deep, rich, and smooth. Both the sodium and sugar content are much reduced, as they increase those just for our terribly dulled American palates; the salt content especially. I can now use it as I please with no fear of shooting my BP sky high, as long as I behave. (It tastes so good, I'd be tempted to drink it. I know, I know...) It adds a great flavor to anything you care to use it in or on, and the price is decent, considering the large amount you get. It's actually cheaper buying it like this than it is buying the salty stuff in the store. I think you will be pleased with this product.

great product, made in S. Wisconsin.

The flavor of this Japanese Soy Sauce is amazing. American made soy sauce seems to be predominantly salt and that's all I could ever taste. Sometimes I'd feel sick after using it. But this...it's just amazing. I can of coyrse taste the sodium, but I can also taste the other ingredients it's made with. I definitely get a taste of the wheat, and I don't think it has any, but I seem to detect a mild yeasty flavor. It's also just a tad thicker than US made soy sauce. The US brand runs everywhere, but this seems to stay put a bit better. It also smells heavenly when you cook with it. I am so surprised, because the US version smelled vaguely nasty when it was heated. I don't know what the difference is between the two, but if you enjoy soy sauce, definitely give this a try.It's also a good value, especially being imported. I keep it in the fridge so it will keep that fresh taste that it had when I opened it. Every single store in my area was out of the Kikkoman that I normally use...I am so glad I found this shopping on Amazon. I'm finding myself actually looking for recipes to use this in...and I tossed the leftover US made version of soy sauce I still had, along with the low sodium version that tasted vile.

It's more affordable then double brewed, has a less salty and caramelized nodes. To open it submerge top side down into a cup of hot steaming water for a minute, unscrew and remove the stopper.

Delish

Perfect sauce.
