Frequently Asked Questions 

How does "Dark" soy sauce differ from "Light" or "Regular" soy sauce?

Dark soy sauce is aged longer and has a thicker, more syrupy consistency. While it is actually less salty than light soy sauce, its primary purpose is visual and aromatic. It provides a rich, dark amber color to noodles, braises, and gravies that regular soy sauce simply cannot replicate.

How is the "Premium" Gluten-Free version made?

Traditional dark soy sauces are thickened and fermented with wheat. This Premium Gluten-Free version is brewed using non-GMO soybeans and corn starch. It delivers the same intense umami and "lacquered" finish as the original, allowing you to serve Celiac and gluten-sensitive patrons with total confidence.
