Tamari Sauce


Since the 17th/18th century in Japan, a simple household production of soy sauce was raised to a commercial level of art. Back then initially just to advance in the production of soy sauce, the entire thick mixture of soybean was substituted with a mixture of half soybean and wheat. Hence, the new supplant produced was a fermentation of the soy sauce, called Shoyu'. It is a Japanese name for 'soy sauce'. On the other hand, we can promptly associate soybeans as a tamari sauce substitute because it is made with the same substituents than the uncouth soy sauce.
