San-J Organic Shoyu Soy Sauce REVIEW

In my search for the best soy sauce,

I decided to try San-J Organic Shoyu.

Some of the brands I have tried include:

Pearl River Bridge, Kikkoman, La Choy,

and the Indonesian ABC Kecap Asin.

One thing that attracted me to

San-J Organic Shoyu...

...was the new Easy Pour Fitment

spout that saves sauce.

So I opened the bottle...

...and began to pour it

on a small bowl of brown rice.

Wow.

I must now say --

San-J Shoyu is my favorite

soy sauce by far!

Up until today, my favorite

was Pearl River Bridge,

but this San-J Shoyu

has a better flavor.

It's not too salty and has a

slightly sweet taste

that really makes brown rice

taste superb, almost like steak.

I will try using this brand of soy sauce

in other applications, as I feel it's

going to be a versatile staple of my diet

from this day forward.

Isn't it nice to experiment and discover

something that pleases and delights?

Reasons to Go Organic 
in Soy Sauce:

• A 2001 test of various soy sauces and related products by the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency (FSA) found that 22 out of 100 samples contained a substance called 3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol) at levels considerably higher than those deemed safe by the European Union.^[21] About two-thirds of the 22 samples also contained a second chemical called 1,3-DCP (1,3-dichloropropane-2-ol) which experts advise should not be present at any levels in food^{[citation needed]}. Both chemicals are carcinogenic (have the potential to cause cancer), and 1,3-DCP can cause genetic damage to be passed on to offspring who never consumed the sauces.^[22] The FSA recommended that the affected products be withdrawn,^[23] and in June 2001 issued a Public Health Advice leaflet^[24] warning against a small number of soy sauce products that were found to contain high levels of potentially cancer-causing chemicals. The leaflet singled out brands and products (some by batch numbers) imported from Thailand, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although the leaflet primarily looked at soy sauce, it also included oyster sauce, marinades and other types of sauces, that affected the brands Golden Mountain, King Imperial, Pearl River Bridge, Jammy Chai, Lee Kum Kee, Golden Mark, Kimlan, Golden Swan, Sinsin and Tung Chun. Despite these being small in number in the UK, they are the dominant brands in their respective nations.
• In Vietnam 3-MCPD was found in toxic levels (In 2004 the HCM City Institute of Hygiene and Public Health found 33 of 41 sample of soya sauce with high rates of 3-MCPD, including six samples with 11,000 to 18,000 times more 3-MPCD than permitted, compared to about 5,000 times in 2001)^[25] in soy sauces there in 2007, along with formaldehyde in the national dish Pho, and banned pesticides in vegetables and fruits. A prominent newspaper Thanh Nien Daily commented: "Health agencies have known that Vietnamese soy sauce, the country's second most popular sauce after fish sauce, has been chock-full of cancer agents since at least 2001."^[26] (See 2007 Vietnam food scare.)
