Organic Miso Damari - The Original Tamari - 200ml
✧ What is Miso Damari?
Miso Damari is the original and ancient form of tamari: the rich liquid essence that gathers in miso as it ages and ferments.
For over 1,000 years, Miso Masters reserved for the Japanese nobility the liquid essence of their miso. This was the original Tamari, a rich, full-flavoured sauce for sushi, marinades, stir-fries, fine meats and vegetarian cooking.
Miso is the ultimate living food, crafted through ancient knowledge and extraordinary skill. Our Damari is a gift from the Miso as it ages and breathes. Thick and full-flavoured, we are honoured to work with miso Masters who still produce an authentic Damari. It is drawn from the very miso we offer as our Unpasteurised Living Miso.
✧ How is Damari different from soy sauce and modern tamari?
Miso-Damari, as it’s correctly named, is the original liquid essence from Miso. Tamari as most people know it today is a modern-day interpretation of this once highly prized seasoning, brewed as a sauce in its own right rather than drawn from ageing miso.
Damari is produced exclusively from the precious liquid drawn from the Miso as it ages. No wheat or grain is used in the production of our miso, so the Damari it gives is naturally gluten-free. It is richer, darker, thicker and more mellow than even the best-quality tamari, with a depth most soy sauce does not reach.
