Kikkoman Granulated Tamari Soy Sauce
What it is
This is a dry, granulated form of tamari soy sauce. Tamari is traditionally brewed with more soybeans and less wheat than regular soy sauce, giving it a richer, more complex flavor. This granulated version offers the same savory umami taste but in a convenient powder format. It dissolves easily in liquids, making it a versatile seasoning for a wide range of dishes. It is made without wheat ingredients.
How people cook with it
This granulated tamari is a convenient way to add deep, savory flavor to your cooking. It works well in both wet and dry applications.
- Seasoning marinades
- Flavoring dry rubs
- Enhancing soups and stews
- Sprinkling on roasted vegetables
To use, simply whisk the granules into liquids like water, broth, or oil until fully dissolved. For dry applications, you can mix it with other spices to create rubs for meats or vegetables before cooking. It can also be added directly to sauces, gravies, or stir-fry bases to build layers of flavor. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, starting with a small quantity and adding more as needed to achieve the desired savory depth.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike liquid tamari, this granulated form is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration after opening. It also offers a different texture and dissolution rate, making it ideal for dry seasoning blends where liquid would be undesirable. The flavor profile remains similar to traditional tamari.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs seeking a convenient, wheat-free savory seasoning.
How to keep the rest
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain freshness. Properly stored, it will retain its quality for an extended period.
