Basic Effects
Odor-Eliminating Effect
Sashimi is dipped in soy sauce not only to add the flavor of soy sauce to the raw fish, but to mask its odor.
Heating Effect
When heated during frying or grilling, soy sauce produces an appealing aroma and rich color that stimulate the appetite. This effect occurs when grilling meat marinated with soy sauce or when adding soy sauce to fried ingredients as a finishing touch.
Contrast Effect
Soy sauce brings out the flavor of the ingredients in a dish: the original flavor of any ingredient is enhanced by adding soy sauce.
