Kikkoman soy sauce 200l
Description
SOY SAUCE
There are many fermented foods and some of them are frequent guests on our tables: pickles,
cheese, yoghurt, wine or beer. But among all the others soy sauce is very special and rare as its
production process involves 3 types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation
by yeast and organic acid fermentation. Special yeast culture starts the fermentation process that
transforms four natural ingredients into soy sauce over a period of several months. This natural
method of brewing soy sauce reaches as far back as 2,500 years ago, when it was created as a way
to give vegetarian food a more meaty fl avor. In fact it’s one of the world’s oldest umami ingredients,
even though the world started talking about umami itself only few years ago.
Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce contains more than 285 distinct fl avor and aroma components
and is an easily incorporated liquid, convenient to use and store. Its rich fl avor and delicate
amber color blend seamlessly with other ingredients without masking or overpowering. It can be
used in place of salt to reduce sodium level in your menu while adding enhanced fl avor and umami.
Only one teaspoon of Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce provides the seasoning equivalent
of a tablespoon of salt, with only a fraction of the sodium!
UMAMI
One of these trendy words popping up more and more often in the culinary world…
Fifth taste, brothy, meaty, savory – tongue-coating richness of taste, magical ingredient of your food…
So what exactly is umami?
Chemistry explains it as a high concentration of certain amino acids, in this case the natural result
of long fermentation. We put it pragmatic way: a natural taste enhancer. It boosts fl avor and is 100%
healthy and natural! You will fi nd levels of it in Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushrooms and tomato
sauce as well, but our naturally brewed soy sauce is in fact one of the most versatile umami
ingredients of all. You are not going to add Parmesan cheese or tomato sauce to just anything
you cook… And exactly this is the difference. Now you know what makes our soy sauce an all-purpose
seasoning. In other words we could call Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce “instant umami”.
