Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose Yamasa over other soy sauce brands? A: Yamasa has been naturally brewing soy sauce since 1645 — one of the oldest producers in Japan. The flavour is clean, refined, and slightly more delicate than many mainstream brands, making it a favourite among those who appreciate quality and heritage in their condiments.

Q: Is Yamasa Regular Soy Sauce 1L gluten-free? A: No — it contains wheat. For gluten-free, we stock Yamasa Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce in our Japanese collection.

Q: How does the 1L compare to the 150ml in terms of value? A: The 1L offers significantly better value per millilitre. If you cook with Yamasa regularly, the 1L is the smarter buy — use it to refill a smaller table dispenser and top up as needed.

Q: Does Yamasa work as well for cooking as it does for dipping? A: Yes — its clean, rounded flavour works beautifully both as a table dipping sauce and as a cooking ingredient. Some chefs actually prefer it for finishing dishes and sauces where a lighter, more delicate soy flavour is desired.

Q: Where can I buy Yamasa Soy Sauce in South Africa? A: Available online at Fabasian with fast nationwide delivery across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
