Soy Sauce..

Your Thoughts ?

Healthy o' Not ?

Possibly the best sauce in existence. After eating sushi, I tend up end up slowly spooning up and eating the rest. It is absolutely delicious. It's very healthy, as I recall (lots of antioxidants).
Findecanor:
There is a wide variety of soy sauces. In grocery stores where I live there are generally only two "types" printed on the labels though: "Japanese" and "Chinese", but that doesn't explain much.
In cooking shows from the UK, I've seen mention of "light" and "dark" soy sauce, which apparently matches the varieties in their grocery stores, but we don't have those here.
The last one I got labelled "Chinese" doesn't taste well IMHO and I can't pair it with much food.
The salt content can't be good. But there's Japanese "Tamari" which supposedly has less salt.
I believe the sauce we get in small cups at sushi places sometimes is sweetened with sugar.

I prefer Japanese style (shoyu) and generally buy low-sodium (which still has plenty of salt in it).
My son developed celiac disease a decade ago so we switched over to tamari and I have been buying that ever since. In the US the most available brand is San-J and that is what I have gotten used to.

Low_sodium is suspicious, kikkomen says they take the salt out AFTER it finishes its normal fermentation cycle at full salt.
How is this done ?
