Lee Kum KeePremium Soy Sauce, 16.9-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2)

Tastes exactly like it should! Will repurchase when I run out.

Trust me. The flavor with this product compared to what you get at the grocery store and restaurant is night and day. It is absolute perfection. I will for sure be purchasing again. I might even order some for family members. Oh, and a little goes a long way.

Tried other soy sauces, but I keep coming back to this one.

Now I know what was wrong with the taste of my homemade chinese cooking all these years. After doning some research I realized not all soy sauces are the same. First there are dark soy sauces and there are 'light' soy sauces. Until now I didn't realize that when doing basic chinese recipes you want to use 'light' soy sauce WHICH THIS IS! Dark soy sauce with its much stronger flavor if evidently better suited as a dip, etc...Previously in my recipes I had been using that gawd-awful La-Choy imitation caramel dark soy sauce and always wondering why the soy sauce flavor overpowered all of the other ingredients and my finished product was nothing like I'd get at my strip mall chinese joint. Nevermore!This stuff is the real deal, very rich, subtle flavor which leads to a great end product.It's worth noting that the picture on Amazon shows a label that indicates it is a 'light' soy sauce. When my bottles arrived the label DID NOT say 'light' soy sauce. Not to worry, It is light soy sauce as you will readily know when you pour a little bit into a spoon and give it a taste.Not sure if Lee Kum Kee is the best brand for soy sauce, but I learned that Lee Kum Kee invented oyster sauce about 150 years ago and is the 'go to' oyster sauce for anybody wanting authentic chinese flavor, so I fgure they ought to know what they are doing with soy sauce too.I have not been disappointed!

the flavor is much nicer than grocery store soy sauce.

The bottle comes very nicely decorated in a elegant classy glass bottle. The beautiful crema that you can visually notice in the clear glass bottle dances with delight. Any espresso lover known's what crema is, its the frothy film you get from the brewing process used in espresso. The cerma is substantial in the bottle and gives one a sense of a beautiful soy sauce brewery.Your eyes and taste buds will be directed after the fizzy sparkling red champagne splashes the rice to a frosty creamy coating that covers rice the way its suppose to be covered. Not like the faint watery mess we are used to, and when mixing it into rice it leaves us wanting more as the texture seems to drop to the bottom of the plate not enhancing the flavor or the rice. Not this soy sauce, it covers every granule of rice with a thick coating that fizzes on the tongue when sauce meets pallet, like real soy sauce should.The light soy sauce is where most people should be looking when trying to decide what type they want.

Once you taste good soy sauce like this, the “la choy” stuff you get in your local grocery store starts tasting pretty bad. This is a pretty expensive price as it’s much cheaper in local Asian markets, but I needed it sent as a gift so it was the most convenient.

on the upside, this brand of soy sauce does have flavor (altho based on others' reviews, i expected more flavor) and is not just salty, which is what i find the "leading brand" to be.
