Yasuo Yamamoto – Making real soy sauce
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

This looks fantastic and I found it on Amazon. I’m definitely going to try it.

thanks for that, you answered my question. (how much does this stuff cost?)
If I had Bezos money, I would leave space to Elon.
Instead, I would give each artisanal outfit enough money in the bank such that the interest alone would prop them up even if times were tough and sales poor.
I believe some things need to exist for their own sake. The world better and more interesting with them in it.
Case in point—
TOMY’s 20 pound die cast Enterprise:

It looks bleak for a crowdfunded effort.
Had I had Bezos money….I would have had many of these things made and sold for cheap.
It would have sold for a loss, yes…and I would have taken a hit.
But I think that space toys have to be propped up to get kids away from sports and computer games and back outside going “whoosh” with spacecraft to allow their imaginations to grow and get them interested in space for its own sake…the space economy/advocacy needs more warm bodies.
If I were Bezos—that would be my priority even if it bankrupted me. Not only would I flood the toy aisles with space toys…I’d buy all the pimple popping and wrestling toys and have them destroyed.

Soy sauce is not my thing, but I do want to know your opinion.
tangential– anyone here had the ultra expensoid Wagyu beef?
wayne – Yes, just had an A5 Waygu 6 ounce rib eye tonight . . . Properly done Waygu is worth the price.

That, is very interesting!
I was recently watching some videos on that whole subject.
(what is the fat content? it looks like it would be 50%?!?)
wayne – Fat content on Waygu will vary according to grade. ok, on the soy sauce, it is absolutely, positively, excellent. Immediately upon opening the bottle a beautiful, sweet smell was detectible. The flavor, deep, complex umami with slight floral characteristics. But the depth of flavor, the subtle layers of flavor, is absolutely wild. Having lived in wine country and trained my palate for the last 40 years, I have a pretty well developed set of taste buds. The deciding test though was then sampling some of my old, regular soy sauce to compare. Well, the difference is huge, I mean it isn’t really even a contest. I will never go back to my old regular soy sauce, never.
I want to thank Bob for posting this video, and I whole heartedly recommend this product. Now taste is subjective, I understand, but I feel most people will be able to appreciate the difference here.
I just got mine from Amazon after watching this video, and it is definitely worth it. A little bit goes a long way!
All right David Herr! Enjoy! Yes, a little does go a long way, and its thicker than regular soy sauce as well. I still am amazed at the depth and layers of flavors in this sauce. Amazing!

Thanks for the review!
