Salad is a simple dish but it can be challenging to innovate. Usually, once we find our favorite dressing, we tend to stick to it no matter what. Sure this is all fine, but eating salad with the same dressing over and over can be boring at times.
Making salad you actually enjoy doesn’t have to be that tricky. A good dressing can turn boring greens into tasty deliciousness. How about adding the dark salty tamari as the main flavor for your salad?
Tamari is practically 100% soy-based soy sauce, so it pretty much tastes similar to dark soy sauce. Use tamari for the sour yet fresh Japanese style dressing.

About Tamari Sauce
Tamari sauce is a wheat-free variant of Japanese soy sauce. Regular soy sauce is often brewed with 50% wheat so it’ll be easier to mass-produce. Since tamari only uses soy as the main ingredient, we can say that it is the best gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
Product Used In The Recipe
Using local soybeans of Anjo City and salt from Seto City, this tamari sauce is matured/aged for three years in a traditional, large cedar vat that has been used since the Bunsei Age.
The appealing point of this tamari is its natural umami taste. With just a small amount, you can already savor the deliciousness of this sauce. Feel free to use this tamari sauce for boiled food, fried rice, or teriyaki.
