Artisanal Classic Dark Soy Sauce 500 Days Aged 12.1 fl oz

€30 soy sauce? Beautiful, classic packaging is great and all, but when it comes to cooking, most things are consumed so quickly it takes a special budget to allow for such things to enter the decision making process. Being a frequent home cooker of Japanese and South-East Asian foods, I wanted to see whether something like this would make a difference. It's expensive for soy sauce, but it's not exactly the price of a Ferrari, so a single purchase is still reasonable for some. It adds a rich umami complexity to the acidity, that any other soy sauce simply can't compare to. It's like discovering that soy sauce has flavour for the very first time. The flavour is stronger and much longer lasting than regular sauces, so you can easily apply a 'less is more' approach and you'll still end up with better results. I'm a bit lost for words in describing the taste unfortunately. Just know that everyone is right and that this has the Midas touch and turns everything to gold. It'll make your shoyu tare, tare no teriyaki or simple rice taste so much more complex than before and with a much nicer umami. I'm genuinely looking forward to trying the other sauces they do to see what difference they make. So €30 soy sauce? In short, I will buy it time and time again, plus you need a lot less so it actually lasts 2-3 times longer than others.

Best taste out there in my opinion

Whao! The taste is so great. It is the real thing. You should try this instead of synthetic soya sauce ,90% of soya sauce on the market was made with chemical ingredients. This Japanese product are unbelievably good. It is a bit pricey but worth it. I strongly recommend it.

Layers of exceptional depth The flavor bursts over your taste buds umami, depth, salt. Merged consciousness, highly recommend

This is a good quality, tasty condiment. Would recommend
