Tamari is thought to be the ‘original’ soy sauce or shoyu, made from the liquid produced by fermenting miso. It is one of the darkest soys, with smoky notes and a milder saltiness and harmonizes beautifully with other flavours. Use as you would any other soy sauce – in marinades, dipping sauces, vinaigrettes and soups. Kikkoman is the most highly respected soy sauce brand in Japan.
