Soy sauce is the collective name of any sauce based on soybeans. On the shelves in modern times it is found in “fast” industrial production, almost always thickened with wheat or separately with gluten. Basic soy sauce in Japan is a sauce made from a mixture of cooked soybeans and roasted wheat grains. The paste is added to the brine and left to ferment before pressing to obtain a liquid seasoning. It is usually fermented with mold fungi Aspergillus oryzae or sojae.
