wats the best brand? cooks illustrated (americas test kitchen) says lee kum kee but with 1200 ml of salt and the next on noshua soy has the lowest salt but 7 bucks for 10.5 ounces|||watch out with soy sauces, LITE soy sauce doesn't necissarily mean low-sodium, its usually lighter in flavor but actually have more sodium than standard soy sauce.
there are a few out there but i would stick with kikoman|||I would definately go with the lower sodium if I was you, even if you have to pay a little extra.
Lower sodium is much healthier.
Soy sauce varies in price tremendously due to quality differences. In Asia you can find aisle upon aisle of soy sauces in the supermarkets, just like we have aisles of tomato sauces or olive oils. Which one to use depends on what you are using it for, cooking, marinates, dressings, for dipping etc.
I would get a cheap one for cooking and a more expensive one for dressings and dipping.
Kikkoman is the more popular choice here in the West but it is not superior in brand. They also have different qualities depending on for what and for whom. Kikkoman is definately not adviceable for sushi (too strong a flavour and overpowers the fish). It is like telling a Japanese to use Hunt ketchup instead of Heinz.|||KIKKOMAN~LITE SOY SAUCE

check the ingredients and sodium amount
some lite soy sauce uses alcohol - which some people don't want.|||I just buy Kikkoman in the green labelling... it's nice to not have that huge shock of brine flavor in your mouth! I wouldn't pay $7 for any soy sauce! It's too cheap!|||Kikkoman or China Lily are both good. The taste is as good and who needs all that salt.
