Delicious and Nutritious
Nama Shoyu is known as Golden Tamari because of its beautiful honey color. Its fruity aroma and slightly sweet salty-yet-delicate flavor make it a great dipping and finishing sauce. Hand crafted in Aichi, Japan with locally grown ingredients and natural mineral water.
Ohsawa Nama Shoyu is fermented, or cultured, in the traditional way, in wooden barrels under the sun. The label boasts "living enzymes and beneficial organisms". Its mouthwatering umami taste brings out the best in food without darkening its color. Enjoy it on sushi, tofu, seafood, vegetables, even on fruit.
Nama Shoyu is a raw (nama), unpasteurized Japanese-style soy sauce (shoyu) popular amongst those following a raw and vegan food diet. Though nama shoyu is actually heated well above the usually raw-allowed 115°F, it is still used by many raw foodists because it maintains the most beneficial living enzymes.
