Soy and wheat-free soy sauce

"Do you have soy sauce that does not contain soybeans or wheat?" is a question we are sometimes asked by customers. When we talk to them, we learn that they cannot use soy sauce due to allergies. For such people, we recommend "broad bean soy sauce." For those with wheat allergies, we can suggest tamari soy sauce made only from soybeans and salt, but if soy is also not used, the options are limited.

What does broad bean soy sauce taste like?

This soy sauce is, well, almost just plain soy sauce. It has a hint of fava beans in the aftertaste, but I think many people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and regular soy sauce unless they were told.

Comparison of broad bean soy sauce and regular soy sauce

I tried it with tofu and natto, which are the standard situations in which soy sauce is used, and it was just as delicious as regular soy sauce. I don't think most people would notice unless they were told. The broad bean soy sauce has a more subtle, lighter soy sauce flavor, and there is a slight difference in the aftertaste, but you wouldn't notice it unless you compared them at the same time.

I tried using it in my regular cooking.

I wondered how it would taste if I used it in cooking, so I made some ginger pork and soup. Without telling my family, I set them on the table as usual and watched them... and just as I expected, no one noticed!

When I confessed that it was actually made with fava bean soy sauce, she was surprised and muttered, "Even if you say that, I can't tell the difference from usual..."

We all want to eat the same thing

In a household with a child with allergies, it is inevitable that the menu will be special for that child. For example, if you season rice noodles with soy sauce, it will be safe for those with wheat or soy allergies. With a little ingenuity, you can create fun for everyone to eat the same food.

Is brewer's yeast used?

President Takahashi of Takahashi Shoten, a manufacturer of soy sauce made from broad beans, visited the Fermented Food Research Institute to discuss the matter. Soy sauce yeast is added to broad bean soy sauce. Yeast is a type of bacteria, but generally speaking, yeast used in bread is called yeast.

And when we look closely at yeast,
・Bread yeast ・Sake yeast (Saccharomyces)
・Soy sauce yeast (Zygosaccharomyces) *Yeast that can tolerate high salt

They are classified according to their characteristics. You said that it reacts to brewer's yeast, but it would be a good idea to check whether it reacts to soy sauce yeast, bread yeast, sake yeast, or brewer's yeast in general.
