It tastes good. That said I think the only way to really know how it tastes is to compare it with other brands of soy sauce. The price was 25 cheaper than Amazon so that is good. I am going to buy and try other higher end brands so I can compare.

This is one of my favorite soy sauces on the planet. I always make sure that I have ample supply to last me through dark times should the world ever decide to end. My favorite food to pair this with is either a baked salmon or a pan seared salmon cutlet, however, I have tried this with many seafood dishes to much success. This also pairs great with rice, veggies, most Chinese dishes, and even when sprinkled lightly over a quick and easy chickentuna mayo pasta.And remember, with soy sauce, less is more, so keep that in mind on your way to the Olympus of food that awaits you.

Much less salty than cheap factorymade soy sauce. I didnt even have to taste it to see the difference. Right after pouring it onto the plate, you see oily texture, smell rich fragnance, its just something else. Now I undestand why cheap sauces were called black salty water. Well, dont get me wrong, its not like maple syrup or honey, its not THAT oily and sticky. But its easy to see the difference when typical sauce runs down off the curvature of the plate almost instantly, and this one does it much slower. As for the taste, less salt means you can feel all the other parts much better. It tastes great with plain rice, great with fried with veggies, great with sushi and fish in other forms... I have no idea if theres a thing with which this sauce would taste worse ... MoreMuch less salty than cheap factorymade soy sauce. I didnt even have to taste it to see the difference.

I have no idea if theres a thing with which this sauce would taste worse than the cheaper ones. I didnt think the difference would be this big, and I find it odd that anyone would willingly switch from this to them, but hey, I myself didnt know anything better few days ago.. So its all about knowledge and availability and marketing.. and yeah, this one costs more, but its worth it. Just like different kinds of balsamic vinegar differ, and just like they make a huge difference compared to plain vinegar Alright, anyways this is SAUCE. It wont fix the dish for you if its bad. But it can make a good one a great one. It has its particular taste, and I love it, and of course you may too, or you may not, I have no way of telling you how it exactly tastes, but if you like soy sauces in general, and if you ever found common sauces too salty and their light versions less salty but also less tasty please do try this one. I think youll love it.

This is the small 150ml size. Dark soy condiment bottled sauce with an AIRTIGHT, click-closed cap & a built-in pouring nozzle beneath the cap.

Best of the Dark Soys

I've used Amoy Soys in stir-frys for nearly two decades. Dark is my preferred over First Press, Light and the healthier Reduced Salt. Every once in a while I succumb to a promotion on an alternate or new soy sauce, but to my tastebuds Amoy Dark has never been bested.

Great for cooking with

I love Kikkoman with my sushi, & always have it in the cupboard, alongside this one, which is far more versatile. I use it for all my cooking - adding a splash or dash to sauces, or when marinading, pimping out mushrooms etc. Its very tasty, adding a great little punch of umami, without being overpowering, & the kids dont find it too strong when I cook Asian inspired meals with it.

Weird smelling soy sauce

I got this soy sauce as part of a meal deal. It had a weird smell when I added it to some stir fry veg, which prompted me to look at the ingredients. So many ingredients! I dont want nasty chemicals and E numbers in my food. I wont buy this again

slightly Salty for my liking

soy sauce is a great way to add a bit of flavour to a stir fry. normally I splash quite a bit in but I felt this had quite a stronger flavour than my normal brand. that could be a case of a good quality product meaning I don't need to use as much going forward.this product was bought as part of a promotion.
