Shoyu is a sauce based on: soy, water, salt and wheat (we have to watch out because it contains gluten). They can be in many cases good substitutes for salt because although they contain sodium, they enhance the flavour of the food and at the same time provide us with many nutrients. Remember that a few drops are enough. Soy sauce or Shoyu, having wheat, has a milder flavour than Tamari and is ideal for cooking vegetables, vegetable proteins, soups, stews, making sauces or to accompany seaweed.
Clearspring is a privately owned UK company established in 1980 to distribute a wide variety of traditional Japanese foods that support good health, promote sustainable agriculture and provide economic stability to farming communities.
Bought by its current chairman, Christopher Dawson, in 1993, Clearspring has grown in sales and currently distributes more than 180 products, in more than 25 countries.
From its offices in West London, Christopher and his staff travel around the world in search of high-quality products that meet Clearspring's exacting standards. Each product is carefully evaluated for ingredient purity and eco-friendly manufacturing practices. Clearspring looks for products that are GMO-free and are made with all organic ingredients. Refined organic ingredients such as organic sugar are not acceptable; Clearspring believes that refining organic foods reduces their intrinsic value.
Clearspring believes that health is too important to be compromised, so standards are not lowered in order to meet a price tag. Many Clearspring foods offer exceptional health benefits: seaweed contains a remarkable variety and balance of minerals, traditionally fermented soy foods have an abundance of easily digestible micronutrients, while cold-pressed seed oils are rich in essential fatty acids.
