Tamari

Tamari

What it is

Originally the liquid that pooled on top of fermenting miso — tamari means that which accumulates. It is made with little or no wheat, which is why it is darker, rounder and less sharp than ordinary soy sauce.

In the kitchen

Use it where soy sauce would dominate — as a dipping sauce, or brushed on grilled fish. It seasons without shouting.
