Soy Sauce Fermentation Is an Amazing Process

It involves the participation of molds, yeasts, and bacteria, and can take months or years to complete. The many unique flavors found in different varieties of soy sauce reflect this complex interaction of micro-organisms, as well as the varying amounts of soy and wheat used in a soy sauce traditional production.

It is a special treat for our taste buds, providing the unique flavor referred to as “umami,” which is the savory fifth taste. The other taste bud receptors are for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.
