Let us introduce you to our favorite sauce with a little Q&A.
What Is Tamari?
Tamari is a sauce made from fermented soybeans. It’s very similar to soy sauce, though we think it’s superior. Oh, and did we mention it’s naturally gluten free?
Why Tamari?
Tamari is brewed only with soybeans, while traditional soy sauce is cut with wheat to make production cheaper. As a result, tamari has a richer, smoother, and more umami flavor.
Why Our Tamari?
We have a very simple objective: show the people how incredible barrel-aged tamari is. When we first tried barrel-aged tamari, it was like an explosion of flavor. The tangy, mushroomy, umami flavor meets the refined saltiness.
The best way we have been able to describe it is it's like the flakey salt of soy sauce. Packed with flavor to elevate your meals to new levels.
How Should You Use it?
We are not joking, when we say we put it on EVERYTHING. If you need salt, tamari is your friendly addition. A common myth is that soy sauce is only used for Asian cuisines. While it is a star player there, tamari can hold down the fort in any category.
If you need some inspiration, here are some of our favorites:
- Dip your favorite sushi roll
- Sizzle up fried rice
- Marinade skirt steak for the grill
- Dress up your go-to salad dressing
- Heck, we even put it on Ice cream!
