Soy sauce isn't just soy sauce. There are many different styles of quality and flavor, and just like any other condiment people are going to have their preferences.

Personally, I love pure tamari soy sauce. This is the original stuff, darker and more flavorful; it is the traditional recipe for Japanese soy sauce as it was originally introduced from China. Made as a by-product of miso production, tamari soy sauce has far more nutrients and health benefits than the mass-produced flavoring agent that can be found in any supermarket.

Unfortunately, due to production techniques and quality, tamari soy sauce is often considerably more expensive than the standard commercial variety. Even though I love it, I confess that I don't use it when recipes call for large amounts, or when the richer flavor of tamari is just going to be lost in the blend. However, whenever I use pure soy sauce, such as with sushi or sashimi, then I absolutely dish out the extra cash for the better flavor. Tamari soy sauce and some real wasabi make a huge difference.

I bought this soy sauce because it was on sale, but it's now my preference! This is the best tasting soy sauce by far, and it's more healthy. Yay!

I had a slight problem with my order with this company which had to do with processing the order. It wasn't a fault of the company. I sent them an email and they resolved it to my complete satisfaction in 24 hours. I would definitely shop from them again.

Why would Amazon advertise this soy sauce sandwiched in between two gluten-free items? No one needs to buy regular soy sauce from Amazon, as every grocery store has a huge quantity of it. I am gluten sensitive and was thrilled to find gluten-free soy sauce on Amazon. However, now I am disappointed because I accidently bought the wrong item made with wheat, because it was on the gluten-free page in between two other gluten-free items. No point in sending it back as shipping costs too much. I'm also not going to buy any more soy sauce from Amazon at this point.
