Which Soy Sauce should I use – Shoyu or Tamari?
A. Both Sanchi Shoyu and Sanchi Tamari are authentic Japanese Soy Sauces made to the same high quality standards. Shoyu contains wheat and has a more immediate flavouring ability, whereas Tamari is wheat-free and flavours more slowly but has a slightly stronger taste. Both have a similar nutritional profile and 16% salt content. Shoyu is more popular; Tamari appeals to those wishing to avoid wheat. Back to topQ.
