Tamari & Shoyu - Fermented soy sauces
The naturally fermented soy sauces Tamari (gluten free) and Shoyu are superior quality products among the decade-old spices. These delicious sauces are used to flavour wok recipes, soups or salades.
The Lima soy sauces are a result of 100% natural and month long soy fermentation (and wheat), according to an ancient recipe. They can therefore not be compared with chemically prepared soy sauces to which sugar and/or colour agent E150 (caramel) are added.
Only the very best ingredients: 100% organic, non-GMO products
Since 1985, the high-quality soy sauces have been produced in a traditional way by the Japanese family business Sato, in Virginia, this for 7 generations now. The soy beans are guaranteed GMO free and 100% organic. Every delivery, whether it contains raw materials or finished products, is followed up by our supplier and analyzed on GMO, microbiological quality and physical parameters.
