Fermented soy is pretty based. I think dashi is more versatile for adding umami/savoriness to meals tho.

I like to buy about four quarts to stretch it out, the extra aging really lets the soy absorb the flavor of the plastic jug

>>19932159
yes but not that one

>>19932178
thanks
>>19932424
how many permutations of water, fermented soy, wheat, and salt can there be

>>19932426
kikkoman is weird. it's good quality absolutely but it's wayyyyy too salty. so salty in fact that japponnaise restaurants don't use it, nor do chinease. which is fucking odd. it's fine as a cooking ingredient, but not as a topping or dip, and definitely not for sushi. their light and low sodium versions are okay, but frankly I buy chinease "premium" style for flavour without the seawater burn.

whenever i stumble upon a bottle of sushi that's too salty for me and i need to use it as a sushi dip, i mix in some mirin, seems to knock the edge off

>>19932446
fair enough but that's still a workaround

Looks like an offering of premium imported macro soy aged in the finest BPA enhanced chinese plastic

Made in Japan Kikkoman is much better, and has more varieties like added sodium inosinate, msg and bit of sugar.

Among US soy sauce brands get SanJ or Kroger's private selection line

In Stralia I get pickerel and after yonks of experimenting with everything this is my permanent.

I ate at this Korean bbq restaurant and the soy sauce thing they had tasted different from regular soy sauce. Is it even soy sauce or is it something else?

>>19932462
I've seen this bottle literally everywhere. Chefs, youtubers, asian cooking videos. It's gotta be the best, right?

>>19932642
>implying bugscammers don't just refill it everyday with zero-cost gutter oil and scamsoy

based on what?

>>19932558
There are a few different methods that produce slightly different results, happen to remember the brand by any chance?

bros i can't eat soy sauce, I'm on a candida diet
ahhhhh

>>19932497
I've worked at the Kikkoman factory here in the US and I can confirm that you are 100% a fucking weeb

I like this brand at my local Lotte supermarket. San-J is also good.

>>19932642
i'm not sure whether it's the best, but it sure is good. lee kum kee is also a good brand. if you stick to those 2 you're good afaik

>>19934537
forgot to mention, for light soy sauce you want pearl river bridge

>>19932159
Soy sauce LITERALLY has no flavor. It's just adds color to food.

>>19932159
>soy
>not wordfiltered on /ck/?

Or is there a workaround?

>>19934537
lee kee kum. like leaky cum lol

>>19932508
Good choice anon. This stuff is cash and the base when I make anything soy sauce based, such as sesame soy garlic shrimp udon or rice.

>>19933516
Hardly, nip Kikkoman is mediocre. Burger Kikkoman is just bad.

>>19934948
it's specifically disabled here because automatically swapping soy to onions would really screw up discussion on a cooking board. also, lurk moar

>>19935190
