Yay! congrats, and good job! Did you like how it tasted? Did it taste like real soy sauce?

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.
