Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu - 32 Oz

First of all, this is a human review, and is absolute not AI generated! As a lover of great cuisine, and as a long-time foodie and restaurateur, this has been the only soy sauce I’ve used at home for the past 2 years now. My family and I eat ‘very clean’ (meaning organic, pasture-raised, locally-sourced, free of synthetic/dangerous chemicals and additives, etc), and this soy sauce perfectly fits the way we live and eat. Sometimes you have to sacrifice flavor to avoid those nasty things listed above - not so with this product! In fact, I don’t think you can match the flavor profile found in this traditionally-made product. The flavor is on-point, and knowing that we’re not putting anything but pure, good food in our bodies is so gratifying. This sauce is great for all Asian cuisine of course, but it also gives a huge umami hit when snuck (is that the way to say it?!) into other dishes as well. As of this review, unfortunately the price has seen about a 30% increase since the last time I purchased it, so we’re using it a little more judiciously, but still buying it nevertheless! Bang for your buck, I can’t recommend this product more highly.

Great flavor

Saltier than we expected but very smooth and with more subtle flavours. Family prefers it to supermarket brands.

In spite of the cost I tried Nama Shoyu because I wanted a product that was natural. I re-ordered because the flavor is so much better than anything I've tasted before, without the after taste that I experienced from other products!

This is the best-tasting Japanese soy sauce I've ever tasted. Authentic, complex flavor profile you can't get in any of the mass-market brands you find in the "Asian" aisle of your grocery store. Note: this is Japanese soy sauce. It's different from both light and dark Chinese soy sauce. They are not meant to be substituted for each other. All three are very different.
