About Tamari sauce
Tamari sauce is a Japanese-style soy sauce traditionally made as a by-product of miso fermentation, though commercial versions vary. It is used as a seasoning, dipping sauce, or cooking ingredient to add salty, savoury depth.
It is a thin, dark brown liquid with a concentrated umami flavour. Formulations vary in ingredients and production method, and the name does not guarantee that a product is made without wheat. It is distinct from the fermented soybean paste from which some tamari is produced.
