Soy Sauce

So one of the things that my town is famous for is The "Higashi Maru (Western Circle)" Soy Sauce factory. They make some potent ass soy sauce - I ride by the factory every morning and if the wind is just right it's so strong it can almost knock you off your bike.

On Tuesday, a couple of dudes came in from the Soy Sauce factory to give a demostration on how soy sauce was made:

"This is the soy sauce that Godzilla uses on his sushi."

Soy here's how soy sauce is made:


- Water
- Big Beans, called "Daizu"
- Weed, called "Weed"
- Salt
- Ferment for 6 months
- Serve and enjoy with your favorite fish-flavored cuisine

It was cool because my kids taught me all kinds of new word during the lesson, like how to say "this looks like diahrrea," and "this smells like diahrrea," and "poisonous mushroom" in Japanese.
