About Tamari Organic
Tamari is pressed from the liquid that drains from miso paste (fermented soybeans, salt, water, koji, and moromi) as it ages.
Soybeans are soaked and cooked in cylindrical steam cookers. The cooked beans are formed into nuggets and dusted with “seed koji” (aspergillus oryzae). The nuggets are placed in a temperature and humidity-controlled incubation chamber. During the 48 hours in the incubation chamber, the nuggets develop fuzzy yellow mold. The matured koji is put into fermentation tanks with water and sea salt. Under constant supervision, the blend ages for 4-6 months. The product is wrapped in layers of cloth and pressed to yield the raw tamari. The raw tamari is pasteurized and filtered to become the finished product.

How to use
Its umami flavor fits great to vegeterian and vegan meals by adding a savory bite usually associated with meat-based dishes. Its consistency and balanced flavor, makes it ideal to use as a dipping sauce. Tamari is actually a better dipping sauce for sushi than soy sauce as it won’t overwhelm the fish with saltiness. You can also add tamari to soups, stews, marinades, stir-fries, and Asian sauces, or use it right out of the bottle as a condiment for noodles, dumplings, fish (especially raw, like sashimi), and tofu. Tamari (along with a little sugar) is also a popular seasoning for roasted nuts, especially almonds.
