Organic Japanese Tamari Soy Sauce
What it is
This is a traditional Japanese soy sauce made from 100% soybeans. It is brewed using a time-honored method that emphasizes the natural umami flavor of the soybeans. Its rich, savory taste comes from the careful selection of ingredients and the slow fermentation process.
How people cook with it
Tamari is a versatile condiment that can enhance a wide range of dishes. It adds depth and complexity to both simple and elaborate meals.
- Dipping sauce for sushi
- Marinade for meats and vegetables
- Flavoring for stir-fries
- Seasoning for soups and stews
Use tamari as you would regular soy sauce. It is excellent as a finishing sauce, drizzled over cooked dishes just before serving to impart its rich flavor. For marinades, combine it with other ingredients like ginger, garlic, and a touch of sweetness to tenderize and flavor proteins. It can also be incorporated into salad dressings or used to deglaze pans after searing ingredients. A small amount can significantly boost the savory notes in broths and sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular soy sauce, which typically includes wheat in its brewing process, this tamari is made solely from soybeans. This results in a darker color, a richer, more complex flavor profile, and a slightly thicker consistency. It offers a more intense umami experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks and chefs seeking an authentic, wheat-free soy sauce alternative will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and aroma. Refrigeration is not typically required but can help maintain optimal quality for an extended period.
