Soy Sauce
I guess this could go in a cooking thread...but thought it was interesting enough on its own.
Very interesting "article" {its a slide show, forgive me, but the pictures and videos attached to it are fascinating to me as well and add to the story), showing the old ways of making soy sauce and how what we know as soy sauce is really just crap. Also very interesting guy whose family has been in that business for soy long and worked to keep the old traditions alive including some acts that just aren't normal of a businessman (teaching others his craft/secrets including sharing with what are basically competitors) as he is interested more about the history of the craft and culture to it than just making money.
It also sounds like making true soy sauce is pretty disgusting.
Any readily available brands that you all prefer that may be closer to what its meant to be vs the mass produced stuff we have? I guess I need to find an Asian market and talk to someone about it...also this makes me really want to travel to Japan (which I already have wanted to add to my travel list for a while).
