SHOYU
Shoyu, soy sauce, is made from soybeans, koji-inoculated wheat (fermentation starter), spring water and sea salt. Shoyu is one of the key ingredients in the Japanese kitchen. The use of shoyu has expanded beyond the Japanese and Asian kitchens. Creative chefs in Western restaurants find shoyu's umami and flavor an invaluable part of their preparations. There are four categories of shoyu: regular koikuchi-shoyu, tamari, light-colored usukuchi-shoyu and a "white" variety, shiro-shoyu.
KOIKUCHI-SHOYU
Koikuchi-shoyu is often called simply shoyu. It has a dark brown color, rich flavor and complex aroma. One tablespoon contains over one half teaspoon of salt. It may be used as an all purpose ingredient.
USUKUCHI- SHOYU
Usukuchi-shoyu has a lighter color than regular shoyu. Its flavor and aroma are milder than that of koikuchi-shoyu. Usukuchi-shoyu has a slightly higher salt content than koikuchi-shoyu. Use usukuchi-shoyu in recipes where a more refined color and weaker flavor are required.
TAMARI
Tamari is made nearly entirely from soybeans with no wheat addition. It has dark brown color, and the flavor and aroma are rich and strong. Use tamari as condiment or flavor enhancer by adding it at the end of preparation.
SHIRO-SHOYU
Shiro-shoyu is made mostly from wheat and with some soybeans. The short fermentation period makes this shoyu very light in color although it is not actually white. Shiro-shoyu is noted for its mellow sweet aroma and excellent flavor with much umami. Use shiro-shoyu in recipes in which a light color and delicate flavor are required. Shiro-shoyu is easily adopted into Western preparations where the characteristics of stronger shoyu are not appropriate.
OTHER SHOYU PRODUCTS:
SASHIMI-SHOYU
Sashimi shoyu is specially brewed so that it is well suited for use as sashimi dipping sauce. The flavor and texture of sashimi shoyu is richer and stronger than that of ordinary koikuchi-shoyu.
LESS SALT GEN'EN-SHOYU
This product is reduced salt shoyu. The sodium content in the shoyu may be chemically reduced or diluted with water, so it may contain some additives. This shoyu is used in recipes where low sodium is required for health reason.
