オーサワジャパン Wheat-Free Tamari Soy Sauce 32 fl oz — Traditionally Brewed, Gluten-Free, Organic Non-GMO

オーサワジャパン Ohsawa Wheat-Free Tamari is a traditionally brewed, gluten-free soy sauce made from organic whole soybeans for rich, full-bodied flavor in cooking and marinades.

Handcrafted by the Deguchi family on Japan’s Chita Peninsula, this 32 fl oz tamari follows time-honored cedar-keg brewing methods to concentrate savory depth without using wheat. It’s an organic, non-GMO, vegan-friendly seasoning that replaces standard soy sauce when you need gluten-free options or want a more rounded umami presence in stews, dressings, and marinades.

How does this tamari differ from regular soy sauce?

Unlike conventional shoyu, Ohsawa Wheat-Free Tamari is brewed primarily from whole soybeans and contains no wheat, producing a thicker, darker, and less salty profile. The extended fermentation in cedar kegs contributes complex aroma and a savory finish that carries well through cooked dishes and raw dressings alike.

• Wheat-free formulation suitable for gluten-sensitive diets
• Thicker viscosity and deeper color than many commercial soy sauces
• Long fermentation in cedar kegs creates layered umami notes
• Lower perceived saltiness while still enhancing flavor

Can I use this tamari for everyday cooking and marinades?

Yes — its concentrated taste means a little goes a long way in sauces, stir-fries, soups, and marinades. The robust soy character holds up under heat, so it’s great for fast stir-fries as well as slow-simmered recipes where it deepens savory layers over time.

• Use as a 1:1 substitute for soy sauce in most recipes
• Add to marinades for meat, tofu, or vegetables to boost umami
• Stir into dressings or finishing sauces for richer flavor
• Works well in braises and long-simmered dishes without losing nuance

Is this tamari certified organic and non-GMO?

Ohsawa tamari is made from organic whole soybeans, sea salt, and distilled sake, with non-GMO ingredients and traditional brewing methods. The straightforward ingredient list and careful sourcing make it a clean pantry choice for plant-based and kosher diets.

• Organic soybeans provide the primary flavor base
• Contains sea salt and distilled sake (no artificial additives)
• Non-GMO sourcing and vegan-friendly formulation
• Produced using heritage brewing techniques by the Deguchi family

How should I store and use a 32 fl oz bottle to keep flavor fresh?

Store tamari in a cool, dark place before opening; refrigeration after opening helps preserve aroma and extends shelf life, especially for a larger 32 fl oz bottle. Keep the cap tightly closed and pour with care — this size is useful for home cooks who use tamari frequently or for small restaurants and batch cooking.

• Unopened: keep in pantry away from light and heat
• Opened: refrigerate to maintain freshness and flavor
• Use a small spoon or pour spout to avoid contamination
• 32 fl oz supply reduces frequent repurchasing for regular users

Who is this for: Home cooks, plant-based chefs, and anyone avoiding gluten who still wants an authentic Japanese-style seasoning will appreciate Ohsawa Wheat-Free Tamari. It’s well suited for people who value traditional brewing methods, organic ingredients, and a versatile, savory condiment that enhances everything from quick weeknight stir-fries to slow-cooked sauces.
