Junmai (Pure Rice) Gluten-Free Shoyu, 6.66 floz

Flavor 4.8/5 It smells exactly like soy sauce, but is less salty, hence docking off the 0.2 points. It has the same flavors and umami but a deeper aftertaste. Coconut aminos may work for stir fries, but if you're east asian and make braised dishes, you genuinely need real soy sauce. We've had to avoid soy due to milk and soy protein allergies in our child, and this has worked for all our dishes (sukiyaki don, braised pork rice, beef noodles etc.) Our only gripe is that they don't sell it in a bigger bottle, and since it's less salty than regular soy sauce, you need to use more per dish.

Great gluten-free alternative for Shoyu

My daughter who has celiac disease much prefers the taste of this over Tamari; in fact, she may like it better than standard shoyu. We first purchased this in a small store in Tokyo and are amazed to be able to get it here in the US. Thank you!

Nice flavor and light

Light liquid, but flavor is very satisfying. Easy to use as a main seasoning for Asian dishes and an accent for western dishes. The bottle and portion is too small to me (Japanese), so, I purchased 3 bottles, but it was a right decision!
