Kikkoman Low Sodium Soy Sauce, 5 oz

Soy sauce, a common condiment throughout Asia, is a fermented sauce with a salty taste that is aged for several months. Kikkoman says its soy sauce consists of five flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami -- a flavor created when soybean and wheat, two ingredients in the sauce, are broken down into different proteins.

This is their Less Sodium product, which is produced the same way as their classic soy sauce but has 40% of the salt removed after fermentation. Although there is less sodium in Less Sodium Soy Sauce, all the flavor and quality characteristics remain because it is aged before extracting the salt.
