Not as cheap as previous sales since RRP seems to have increased, but still a decent price to stock up on soy sauce. Note that this is different from the premium version, which seems to have better ingredients but is more expensive.

Is Lee Kum tasty?
It's like a 2 year supply though…
Does it go off?
I keep it in the fridge.
Too soylty
How different is this from the Premium version? I got this off the local shop as my Premium bottle is running out soon.
The quality of the first extract is the best and literally labeled as "Premium" (特级) or "Touchou" (头抽) and the second extract is called "Gold Label" (金标). The third extract may be bottled as "Silver Label" (银标) or used to make dark soy sauce or recycled back as brine for next new batch.

Whoa! Always thought dark soy was a different product.
don't buy gold label,
Water, Salt, Soybeans (9%), Flavour Enhancer (621, 631, 627), Wheat, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Colour (150a), Preservative (202), Sweetener (955).Premium label,
Water, Salt, Soybeans (11%), Sugar, Wheat Flour, Flavour Enhancers (631, 627).
Pearl River Bridge Soy Sauce Gold Label even better
Water 44%, Soya Beans 30%, Salt, Wheat Flour, Preservative: Potassium Sorbate (E202).
try to stay away from Preservative
So you don't eat anything with salt in it?
@spaceflight: The thing is, other than water, soy sauce is mainly salt. So it should be relatively well preserved by the high salt content. Which begs the question, why do they need to add other preservatives to it?
My guess is the gold isn't a fermented soy sauce and so the addition of sugars (HF corn syrup) need to be counterbalanced by additional preservatives.
It's seen reviews suggested that the non-fermented sauces do have a harsher taste. But whether the additional 'preservatives' other than salt have any long term effects on health, who knows?
Potassium Sorbate is a preservative.
@SuBw00FeR: This sauce contains high levels of DHMO. Not a preservative, but a commonly used industrial solvent, and low-cost food additive.
Msg isn't bad for you. That's a myth.
@mckayver: Some people have allergic reactions to flavour enhancers, including MSG.
The real issue with these additives? They've been characterised as "nicotine for food", in other words, they have the effect of making you crave whatever it is and eating more of it than you should.
@Speckled Jim: this has been proved to be a myth
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-msg-got-a-bad-rap-f…@mckayver: Not all flavour enhancers are natural.
Flavour enhancers are used for one reason: to sell more product. Now deny the obesity epidemic.
Flavour enhancers, as with any ingredient, are not immune to allergic reaction in humans. To characterise such by playing the race card is laughable.
Whoa, thanks for that. I will just get the Premium stuff.
If anyone is interested, I'm happy to give my Gold bottle away. Shoot me a PM.
Yeah don't really want high fructose corn syrup.
It's also pointless without knowing if it's light or dark, because they are two very different things. Dark is most frequently used to add colour to a dish, light for flavour (salty).

Kikkoman from Colesworth: Water, Soybeans (18%), Wheat, Salt (contains alcohol v/v from the natural brewing process)
Made in Singapore
Thanks. Not on sale at the moment though. Will wait.
I don't ever remember seeing Kikkoman on sale at Colesworth. Check Price Hipster.
I suggest to buy with 20% FlybuysRewards offers
Kikkoman the OG
Yeah, I used to buy the Kikkoman Organic Soy Sauce from iHerb and they stopped stocking it. Can't find it here anywhere.
I've swapped to Fountain for the meantime, but I have no clue what I am consuming.
Water, Hydrolysed Soy Protein (28%), Hydrolysed Maize Protein, Salt, Colour (150d) (Sulphites).
Yep, my go to.
Yup +1 for Kikkoman https://kikkoman.com.au/product/naturally-brewed-soy-sauce-1… no chemicals at all.
Everything is a chemical
(but yes, my go-to)Yeah I couldn't be bothered explaining before, but I meant man-made/not natural/organic.
yeah just messing with ya!
Arsenic is naturally occurring, does that mean it is good for you?
Product of China
Soy sauce is one of the oldest condiments in the world. It's believed to have originated during the Western Han Dynasty in China, over 2,500 years ago.
Still would rather non-chinese soy due to the issues China has with industrial groundwater contamination and other food safety issues.
Some stuff you can only get Chinese produced, for other stuff like Soy Sauce you have a lot of options.
What's your go to soy sauce? Kimlan?
@dajackal: I always go with Kikkoman. Worth the extra price for me, but I haven't tried a lot of brands including Kimlan.
It's believed to have originated during the Western Han Dynasty in China, over 2,500 years ago.
I thought it was first made during the time of Emperor Nasi Goreng?
Jesus H Christ jv - give it a break.
It's not mandatory to make a dopey comment for every new bargain.
Product of China
yes. HARD pass. No way I'd eat food products from China…
The more I learn about China the more I detest it. I recently learned they commonly strain used cooking oil (used to cook street food) out of the sewer. What an absolutely disgusting and backward place.
Dude are you living in 2008?
wow there's actually a term for it: Gutter oil/Sewer oil.
An article from Reuters, dated 2017: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-food-security/china…
The more I learn about China the more I detest it.
Yet you continue to use products made in China everyday.
DIY estrogen
A misconception.
A phytoestrogen would be more likely to inhibit estrogen receptors, not activate them. Don't believe every bro science you read
I was joking. Would be hypocritical of me to be 'pro' artifical sweeteners but anti soy sauce lol
I've kum here for the comments
Kum on…
The Coles light soy sauce is good and comes at an excellent RRP of $6.50. The salt content is identical to the Kikkoman reduced salt soy sauce (but like 5 times cheaper).
Wow good find! Protein content is higher too which indicates more soy bean
Defatted Soy Beans (22%)
Kikkoman is 18%. Kikkoman isn't made in china
Ingredients:
INGREDIENTS: Water, Defatted Soy Beans (22%), Wheat, Salt.What if I want fatty soy beans
the lee kum kee premium 1.75 is $6.30
50c more…Confusing as lkk premium is currently $6.30 at woolies but it is not a sale price, just the normal price:https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/828048/lee-kum-kee-soy-sauce-premium
However the "inferior" lkk gold label is half price at $5.80
$6.30 delivered with Amazon Prime. (Made in China, not USA as they claim)
https://www.amazon.com.au/Lee-Kum-Kee-Premium-Sauce/dp/B06WV…
But I could not possibly drink that much. Will stick to Kikkoman.
Skulled it when I was 24
Now I am permanently disabled😳fr?
yea hes 21 now
Why is this thread is full of recommendations for Kikkoman, a Japanese-style soy sauce, when OP posted a Chinese-style soy sauce.
They taste completely different and are used for different dishes.
You wouldn't see recommendations for oregano brands on a thyme or rosemary thread, for example.
Too many gwei lo's thinking they're experts in Chinese food after watching a Masterchef episode.
i just had a gwei lou splaining to me on this forum that Roti Canai is an Indian cuisine and not "Malay", and Chicken rice is "Chinese" not Singaporean/Malaysian. It's always the most ignorant one that have the most to say about other people's food. This is why we have a doughnut claiming that rendang HAS to be crispy. ridiculous.
Have to upvote this comment.
Because people like me use Japanese style soy sauce in Chinese dishes don't have sufficient culture to see the problem.
Because going by the ingredients, the person who would use this awful soy sauce would probably also use the wrong type.
I had to scroll too far for this comment.
I think "completely different" is an overstatement. I'd say it's pretty subtle variations of sweetness and saltiness. Definitely noticeable but not as striking as the difference between soy sauce and kecap manis.
Parmesan and mozzarella are still cheese, one is on a pizza and one is on a pasta dish. Same with these 2 soy sauce about the usage.
Most Aussies just use soy sauce as a dipping sauce as opposed to flavourings in meals so their knowledge on the matter is quite limited.
$6.80 full price at GC WWS. Can't find the $11.80 version though look like the volumn is same
"iI's pronounced Soya Sauce"… Boomers probably.
Some of the comments are too Salty!!!
that's weird, last week normal price was $6.50
I like to use this one for making up my marinades. Provides a better taste than Kikkoman.
Also this thread seems quite cooked. A lot of casual racism from S.E Asians and a lot of misinformed generalisations from Aussies.
I use tomato sauce on my dim sims ,
does this make me a bogan or a tin can?Tomato or BBQ sauce are great traditional sauces for dim sims.
meh.. doesn't taste as good as Kikkoman and their last recall of their soy sauce for having questionable chemicals doesn't make it look good either
This stuff is soy good!
