About Shoyu

Shoyu, commonly known as Japanese soy sauce, is a versatile condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt. Originating from Japan, it plays a key role in Japanese cuisine and is widely used in marinades, dipping sauces, and stir-fries. Shoyu typically has a balanced profile of salty, umami-rich, and slightly sweet flavors. Nutritionally, it provides trace amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals but is high in sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Fermentation contributes beneficial enzymes and compounds, which may offer digestive benefits. Shoyu can be a flavor-enhancing substitute for higher-calorie or fatty seasonings, though low-sodium versions are recommended for heart health. Always check labels for gluten content, as wheat is a common ingredient. Its rich, complex taste has made it a culinary staple enjoyed across the globe.
