Soy sauce is a versatile ingredient used in countless recipes. It can be used as a dipping sauce, a marinade, or a seasoning for cooked foods.
- Dipping sauce for sushi

To use Marukin Soy Sauce, simply pour it from the bottle. It can be added directly to dishes during cooking or used as a finishing sauce. As a dipping sauce, pour a small amount into a dish.
