Soy sauce, Kikkoman isn’t going to be beat by a store brand. Likewise with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
Store brand Worcestershire sauce is even harder to pronounce
Kikkoman is some of the worst soy sauce I have ever had. Yeah store brand is a step down but that is a step into negative territory
Settle down there hipster. Most peoples' taste buds werent ruined by having tasted 15 dollar an ounce artisan organic free range no cholesterol soy sauce made by a secretive order of Japanese monks using only the finest water from the fountain of youth. Realistically they've got 3 options: store brand, Kikkoman and whatever overpriced soy sauce brand their local store begrudgingly put on the shelves. Theyre not cheap enough to get the store brand but lets face it, in this economy, nobody wants to shell out a dollar an ounce for something theyre going to drizzle over instant rice.
I mean Lee Kum Kee isn't some magic hipster brand but it's vastly superior
I don't think anyone is suggesting getting soy sauce made by someone with a handlebar mustache. Just that other brands tend to be way better than the Kikkoman you would find in a grocery store.
Lee Kum Kee for example is often in grocery stores and is way better for about the same price. Kimlan is pretty good. Sempio is way way better if you can find it, which shouldn't be too hard if you live somewhere decent.
No need to attack them.
Love Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce and Sempio for standard use. I agree that they are so much better then Kikkoman imo
It's usually pretty easy to find other better soy sauces at most Asian grocery stores around the same price as Kikkoman
Made the mistake of buying Kikkoman a few years ago when I couldn't get my regular brand.
Amoy (dark) is way better. M&S was close though.
La Choy is where its at but i feel you
