      Where do you think soy sauce originated from?

          No he's not asking where soy sauce ingredients are from, he's asking where soy sauce originates from.

        Japanese and Chinese Soy Sauce taste completely different and are used for different dishes.

    • Skyyyyyyy on 04/02/2021 - 11:35

      I have both and use them for different purposes. Kikkoman is good with fish esp. salmon. lkk is superior with traditional stir fry dishes.

    The premium version is available on Amazon for $5.50…..albeit a slight delay before shipping. Might be handy for those without local stock.

    Premium seems better based on ingredients however the gold is double it price? (When not on sale)

        Japanese soy sauce is better. Is that what you were trying to imply?

              @RSmith: I prefer kikkoman personally. Not making any judgements on country of origin

            • Jojo-Ma on 04/02/2021 - 22:59

              @RSmith: both are mass produced soy sauces. both are reputable with a long history.

              afaik, this kikkoman isn't made in japan, but singapore.

              LKK's premium soy sauce is brewed using non-GMO beans, but has lesser (11%) soy compared to Kikkoman's 18% soy.

              Also LKK's premium version has flavor enhancers (631, 627) in it.

              As for LKK's Gold Soy Sauce, it's made in China. Not much else info is provided.

        kikkoman sold at supermarket except japanese grocery shop is made in Singapore.
        Taste is very defendant from Made in Japan.

          Did you mean different?

    • willy88 on 04/02/2021 - 11:25

      It depends on what you cook. They tastes quite different (chinese soy is a bit sweeter, whilst japanese soy is saltier and has a stronger flavour).

      Lee kum kee being a chinese style soy sauce is good for chinese style dishes (who would've guessed), whilst Kikkoman is good for japanese dishes, sashimi/sushi etc..

      I wouldn't use japanese soy sauce to cook in chinese stir fries, nor will i use chinese soy when eating sushi. Korean soy sauce is also quite different.. (i'm Asian and have had much soy in my life). If you don't eat a lot of soy, then you might not notice the difference so go for price. :)

          Korean/Japanese regular soy sauce, vinegar and fine chili powder. Awesome with gyoza/dumplings.

          I usually have them with a mix of black vinegar and Lao Gan Ma chilli oil This one

    Although kikkoman is the staple of chinese restaurants with their distinct bottles, I dig Pearl River Bridge (light). Around $2-2.50 a bottle (not as huge as this one).

    Note quick google search leads to pearl river soy cancer, some sort of counterfeit soy ring a while back… so theres that to be wary of.

    • whitelie on 04/02/2021 - 09:22

      I often wonder how many of those bottles actually contain Kikkoman's

    • Naigrabzo on 04/02/2021 - 09:54

      I think they refill with cheap brand.

  • drycleanonly on 04/02/2021 - 08:27

    Thanks OP, I should have known that artificial soy sauce existed. I just never thought about it. I used the link for the amazon purchase, thanks! I also checked my current stock and it seems the ALDI soy sauce is legit, with alcohol content and all the good stuff.

  • ireadtermsofuse on 04/02/2021 - 10:03

    Love some Lee Kee Kum

  • jastreb on 04/02/2021 - 10:16

        • DarwinBoy on 04/02/2021 - 15:34

          Well the listerine is purchased from the service desk at woolies and coles in the CBD so there might be a small issue up here.
          The coles brand mouthwash is a huge seller.

  • FrozenFred on 04/02/2021 - 10:56

      mainland China. all low end LKK made in China right now.

      • FrozenFred on 04/02/2021 - 11:50

        Thanks! Do we know how to tell if it's made in hk (if there's any that still is) ? I've struggled to find one that says HK, but I think China would have moved production to mainland or not allow to labelled made in hk. Or which isn't a low end lkk?

        • iluvOzB on 04/02/2021 - 13:57
          +1

          I used to be a fan of LKK until I noticed the taste changed and is no longer made in HK. iirc those made in china would have the manufacturing location on the label eg. Guangzhou. I feel like LKK is now just charging a premium for its brand but the quality isn't there anymore.

          • FrozenFred on 04/02/2021 - 14:25

            @iluvOzB: Yeah it's a real shame to lose their touch / market like this. We all end up missing those wonderful flavours

    Anyone tried Healthy Boy soy sauce from Thailand? I had never heard of it but it was recommended by a dumpling restaurant chef.

    1.75L of soy sauce?!
    That is a shitload of spring rolls

  • yacman on 04/02/2021 - 21:42

    Do the gold and premium need to be stored in the fridge after opening?

    • capslock janitor on 06/02/2021 - 13:41

      why

      • RSmith on 06/02/2021 - 14:06

        I think it says on the bottle… Refrigerate after opening.

  • random12 on 05/02/2021 - 02:59

    Does not make a lot of sense.

    The 'detail on the difference' states that gold label is 'more artificial' than premium. I assume that means lower quality.

    If that is the case, why does gold (the supposed lower quality) cost $10 full price, and premium cost $5.50 full price, for the same volume.

    • Neoika on 07/02/2021 - 13:30

      A marketing gimmick.

      Dont you know lots of half priced things are to sell at half price to merchants' expectations?
