Simple Truth Organic Reduced Sodium Tamari Sauce
What it is
This is a fermented soy sauce made with organic soybeans and a reduced amount of sodium. Tamari is traditionally brewed with more soybeans than wheat, giving it a richer, less salty flavor profile compared to standard soy sauce. This version offers a similar umami depth with a lighter sodium content, making it a versatile pantry staple for those mindful of their salt intake.
How people cook with it
It adds a savory depth and umami to a wide range of dishes. Use it as a seasoning or a dipping sauce.

- Seasoning for rice and noodles
Incorporate this tamari into your cooking to boost flavor. It can be whisked into marinades for chicken, beef, or tofu, providing a savory base. For stir-fries, add it towards the end of cooking to coat ingredients and meld flavors. It also works well as a base for salad dressings or as a simple seasoning for steamed rice or noodles. Its nuanced taste makes it suitable for both everyday meals and more complex culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular soy sauce, this tamari uses less sodium. It also typically has a smoother, less sharp flavor due to a higher soybean-to-wheat ratio in its traditional brewing process. This results in a richer, more complex umami taste that is less dominated by saltiness.

Home cooks seeking a flavorful, lower-sodium alternative to traditional soy sauce will appreciate this tamari.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and aroma. Refrigeration is not typically required, but it can help maintain peak freshness for an extended period.
