>>22242522Pic related. Even if you don't make soba (you should) you can use this as a better soy sauce. For the past few years I've had to buy this stuff in person because if you order it online you get the lame white label cheapo version, you want the orange label. If you can't get the orange label then go for the green, it's a vegan version and it's not quite as good without the fish flakes but it's better than the white label.

>>22242891its excellent, obviously not quite as good as a decent soba place but its damn near close enough and makes everything taste betteri do a veggie and chicken/pork heavy soup a la chanko nabe twice a week and that stuff does about 80% of the work for me, really good for agedashi tofu too
