About the name "Namahiki Tamari Sauce"

Namahiki Tamari Sauce is a type of tamari sauce collected purely from the liquid runoff of miso production. Today, tamari sauce is extracted not only from the liquid runoff (like in the older days) but also through the process of squeezing the soy paste (moromi). Because namahiki tamari sauce is exclusively collected from the liquid runoff, the price differs from regular tamari sauce. Namahiki tamari sauce is also left unpasteurized, so the yeast is still active.

What is Tamari Sauce?

Tamari sauce or tamari soy sauce is a wheat-free Japanese variety of soy sauce. Because tamari sauce is 100% soy-based, it has a darker color with a richer flavor than conventional soy sauce.

You can replace the regular soy sauce with tamari sauce. Its umami will surely make boiled food, stir-fries, soups, teriyaki, noodle-based meals, etc., become more gourmet.

Generally, tamari sauce is gluten-free. This sauce can be a great alternative to regular soy sauce for people with Coeliac disease. But, we'd recommend you double-check its ingredients when choosing tamari sauce because wheat usage in tamari sauce production is used very rarely by some manufacturers.
