Soy Sauce Dilemma

[Willie Naylor]

I can never find a soy sauce in the store that's quite as good as the little packets I get from the Chinese restaurant. Apparently, there's Chinese, and Japanese, soy sauce.

I have Kikkoman in the pantry, but not a big fan.

Anyone have any recommendations?

A google search for best soy sauce returns quite a few results. Many varieties available on Amazon…

I've been to every Soy Sauce review I can find. Just wanted to know if anyone here had a personal recommendation.

That would be a subjective recommendation like the reviews you read. What one person likes may not be as tasty for others…
Best you can do is get reviews done by a panel of experts and even then you may not like it, otherwise use my approach and keep buying until you find the One.

Buried in the news is Ghislaine Maxwell's trial for sexual trafficking of underage females used in extorting politicians worldwide for a communistic new-world order agenda.

But hey, Hank Moody has a soy sauce problem. Priorities, priorities...

Hi Willie,
Soy sauce is very much a matter of taste....I have in the last few years started to use it in three cup Taiwanese...Approx equal portions of Sesame Oil,Dark Soy and Wine (Cheap Chardonnet is fine)rather tasty!

I'll have to give that a try. Sounds really good.

All I have now is Kikkoman, but I just put a little bit in this Teriyaki sauce I have. Read yesterday that Japanese soy sauce is made with toasted wheat, whereas Chinese soy sauce is made with wheat flour.

I once used an expired soy sauce for 6 months after, it was like paste, but I'll be damned it was damn good, had a bit of a fish taste lmao

I never realized there was any nuance in soy sauce brand flavors. I buy the Kikkoman for sushi, or the generic off-brand stuff from Shoprite when I need it for a recipe.
