In korea we use only soybean, salts and water,not a damn thing more. Instead permented wheat we use permented soybean blosk itself. In difference of both method comes from the using of different microrganism. Wheats use Aspergillus oryzae, Soy beans use Bacillus Suubtilis Fungi. Aspergillus oryzae is mainly involved in glycolysis and is used to make alcohol using rice, and Bacillus Suubtilis Fungi is mainly involved in proteolysis and is mainly used for fermentation of protein-rich soybeans.

[@Tackleberry666]

[@Familylawgroup]

I love how they use Bourbon barrells to help infuse flavors. I wonder if the exchange is bidirectional. For example, can the soy sauce place send just used tanks back to the bourbon plant and see how their bourbon might taste if fermented in a former soy sauce fermenting tank? If they can go between the two communities, there could be a really interesting exchange of flavors in a symbiotic relationship.

[@somedude5422]

bruh, this would change the entire fucking game

[@TheCheat_1337]

Not bourbon, by law bourbon must be aged in new barrels every time. Other whiskeys, possibly but I don't know that any distiller would want a savory, salty whiskey

[@mrkrabstinysadviolin1400]

I don’t think bourbon made in soy sauce barrels would taste very good…salty/savory bourbon…no thanks. The other way around works well, adding a touch of sweetness to something salty and savory, but I don’t know about adding saltiness to something that traditionally has absolutely none… who knows though I could be wrong and maybe it would be amazing haha

[@anjwicks]

Just wondering the same thing. You know it was an accident. Maybe they tried to make booze and it tasted bad but put it on rice.

[@Zaxares]

I suspect soy sauce was probably an accidental discovery from someone who was trying to preserve food (probably a soybean+rice mix) with salt, and it accidentally became contaminated with yeast, which fermented the mix and gave it a richer umami flavour. Over time, people refined the process and discovered they could simply extract the "juice" from the mash and add it to other dishes to impart the same salty/umami taste.

[@Sage4x4]

Today on how they do it. Plumbuses. Everyone has a Plumbus in their home. First they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out, with a bunch of Schleem. The Schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebop and push it through the Grumbo, where the Fleeb is rubbed against it. It is important that the Fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Schlommy shows up and he rubs it and spits on it. They cut the fleeb. They are several hizzards in the way. The blamphs rub against the chumbles. And the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old Plumbus.

[@KomamuraSajin]

It was probably discovered by accident, as were a lot of things that were fermented. The first version of soy sauce wasn't likely to have as many steps, or even ingredients. There was a time where salt was the go-to seasoning for everything and it was harder to obtain in the quantities the average person in the first-world can, just by going to a market. That was likely due to the high demand for it as a preservation tool, which just about everyone needed, especially if you have cold winters people need to survive. There are documented instances of salt rationing when it was on short supply. We have it so good compared to ancient humans and many third-worlders (not all); refrigerators and complex sauces.
