So after a lifetime of eating "soy sauce" and actually going to Japan and eating shoyu, I've become disenchanted with this big salty bottle of MSG I grew up with.
What's /ck/'s favorite soy sauce?

picrelated. or Bragg

kikkoman
I've tried all the major brands available in the US and they taste identical, just very salty and vaguely soy-y

Vietnamese American. They love the shit in OP but I always saw it as "the stuff that you put on boring food to make it suck less."
pearl river bridge golden superior light, obviously

I actually prefer la choy over kikkoman. I know it isn't even brewed blahblah shut up it tastes better. I don't want my fried rice to taste like reduced salty wine. I like the taste of la choy better.

weird, I never knew maggi was Viet thing. All the pho places I go to have kikkoman... then again, I'm sure the average Viet meal doesn't look like what you get in the restaurant

Average meal was salted proteins and rice. If said protein wasn't salty, you added Maggi.

In my mind, that's a good thing because I'm imagining the barbecued pork chops with fish sauce and rice
mmmm

More like fried fish 50% of the time. We weren't poor or anything but my parents sure didn't like to spend time cooking.

wait, shoyu is different from soy sauce?
wat
I was never more ashamed to be American than when I discovered my preferred soy sauce contained HFCS. Stopped buying it immediately.
Usually don't care about that shit but there is no good reason for it to be in soy sauce.

This guy gets it. I use their light soy and dark mushroom soy sauces.

Sugar is in most MSG sauces though
