Artisanal Soy Sauce Basic Set (6 Types)

Getting acquainted with Japanese cuisine is a complicated procedure and involves learning new flavors and how they work with each other. The fact that Japanese cooks don't use as many condiments as, say, their Middle East counterparts doesn't mean the options fewer, just that the differences between variations are more subtle. The Artisanal Soy Sauce Basic Set is a very good example of what this means: all six 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) bottles are soy sauces, but are all different!

And how could they not be? Yes, they're standard types of soy sauce but also artisanal grade. They come in six types (Shiro, Amakuchi, Usukuchi, Koikuchi, Saishikomi, and Tamari) with different levels of sweetness, richness, or saltiness, and made using varying processes. This means the Artisanal Soy Sauce Basic Set more than a sampler of soy sauces: it's a vertical education in Japanese culinary culture. And as such, a great gift too!
