Why is this so special? South River Miso has made an azuki bean tamari. It's gluten-free and soy-free. In other words, I've had my first taste of fried rice *with tamari* since 1999.
I can't remember what real soy sauce tastes like. I've gotten used to just using chili, garlic, ginger, and sesame for stir-fries, with a bit of seaweed thrown in for umami. (Or MSG, but I'm trying to avoid MSG while pregnant.)
It has a fermented, savory tang to it. It's not as salty as I seem to remember soy sauce tasting. It's closer to what I vaguely remember the reduced-sodium SanJ Tamari tasting like.

It's looking more and more like soy is out for me. Haven't tested the beans yet, but if they don't do me too badly, I will be asking for this recipe.

But after seeing that pic fried rice is sounding better and better...
