Soy souce

[dilbert]

When I get soy sauce with sushi it tastes absolutely wonderful, and quite unlike the soy you would buy in the supermarket (eg kikkoman). It seems less salty for starters. Does anyone out there know why this is?

I think they dilute it with water.

Try Kikkoman's Dark Soy sauce - I tend to find this much less salty than the normal Kikkomen's, even bordering on the sweet.

Japanese soy sauce, shoyu, contains wheat as a primary ingredient, this makes it sweeter and far less salty than the common chinese varieties we get here.
