In the 13th century, a Japanese priest returned from a trip to China and settled in the small, coastal town of Yuasa in Japan’s Wakayama Prefecture. He brought with him several new skills that he had learned from the Chinese, including a process for making miso (a soybean paste). The liquid byproduct of this miso-making process was eventually adopted by the people of Yuasa as a condiment of its own-giving birth to what we know today as soy sauce.

The intro should be corrected to "Yuasa, the birthplace of Japanese soy sauce." Soy sauce was originally invented by the Chinese during the Zhou dynasty (3000 years ago) using fermented meat. Then in the Han dynasty (2200 years ago) , soy bean was used as a substitute. In the 1200s, this art was brought back to Japan.

Except in description the fact is true that the first shoyu or japanese soy sauce is from Yuasa. There is a little difference that makes the fact misleading. Because there are a difference in context of soy sauce in general or japanese soy sauce. I am not from china or japan, but because i am really love history, i give it thump down(dislike because of the wrong fact). But the cinemagraph and production quality is very good i admit

As many of the comments below reveal, this is a beautifully made short film of a particular soy sauce making tradition. One would hope with the NGS at the helm that the historical context would have been more closely examined and, as many commenters point out, corrected. Salt sauces appear around the globe -- the Romans had four distinct varieties -- and so the idea that Japanese soy sauce originated in a particular town by a particular monk makes for a very interesting legend, how well it reflects actual history is something the kinds of users the NGS seeks to inculcate are left wondering about.

The narration is a little bit misleading , if he say about first shoyu or japanese soy sauce. That is not wrong, but what he say is the soy sauce as general in which is historically come from china, there article about this in wikipedia. And even i think the first soy sauce that generaly in the west is from chinese immigrant that live there. There are not many japanese immigrant before world war 2, where in china, the people already moving out since 15 or 16th century and bringing their food and culture with them. Beside that the short film is good, the quality is best but natgeo should check their fact straight before post anything like this. Misleading in history is not good in science. It is like if the film say that new york is the birthplace of pizza when in reality is from napoly.

Before i reply you, i am just say that i am not from china, but in the beginning of the film is a little bit misleading. He say that “the first soy sauce is from yuasa”. He say soy sauce as general. So that is wrong, first soy sauce is from china. It doesnt have any problem if he says “The first japanesse soy sauce is from yuasa”. It is like people says (for example) that the motorcycle is from japan because now they produce many good brand of motorcyle but the fact the american already use motorcycle (harley) before japanese (honday, yamaha) produce its first motorcyle. There is nothing wrong about debate about the wrong fact, they must at least change the narration a little bit like in the description, because the description is not misleading like the narration in video

@sheldon pereira The soy sauce this video shows is called "shoyu", a light soy sauce typically used for cooking and as a condiment. As a general rule, Japanese soy sauces tend to have more clarity and less solids, giving them a more sharply defined soybean taste on the tongue. Chinese soy sauces tend to be slightly thicker and more opaque, and the taste is a more even blend between saltiness and soy. Going further afield, soy sauces from South-East Asian nations are even darker and thicker (and often sweeter, due to the addition of molasses into the mixture) than Chinese soy sauces. The video's description about Yuasa being the birthplace of soy sauce is a bit misleading, yes, but all of the posturing about which region has the "best" soy sauce is silly. I'm Chinese, and I'll readily admit that shoyu is my preferred soy sauce out of all the different varieties I've tasted, but that's not to say that the other variants are worth any less. Different soy sauces go better with different kinds of dishes (I wouldn't dream of eating Hainanese chicken rice without dark, sweet soy sauce, for instance), and it all comes down to a matter of taste.

@DreamerXX 5 жыл бұрын

Great video, well made and very interesting to see people still make it by hand. Have to say though, the makers of this video should have made the fact clearer that they meant Japanese soy sauce not soy sauce in general. That would have avoided 99% of the argument in the comment section.

It depends on what you consider "soy sauce". The current popular iteration of "soy sauce" made from *wheat* and soybeans fermented with koji mould was invented in Japan. Sure China has had fermented salty soya bean sauce from much earlier - but it's not what many people will call soy sauce today. So what if China made "Soy Sauce" from soyabeans and fermented fish in 50AD. It's not what a modern person would identify as Soy Sauce. Similarly, "Beer" in Egypt is not the same as what people today would call "Beer". The modern iteration of what we would identify as "Beer" (conditioned/carbonated bottom fermenting lagers or top fermenting ales) did not exist until much later. Germany invented Lager. Not Egypt. Similarly, Japan invented the wheat+soy based sauce that we call soy sauce, or shoyu, today. Ancient "Beer" and ancient "soy sauce" are different things that modern folk wont recognize... But if you went to 15th Century Germany and tried their Lager, you would recognize it as a Lager... Just like you would recognize a 13th century Japanese Yuasa Shoyu/soysauce.

I agree that the West has had a particular favor for Japan above other Asian countries due to post WW2 relations, which I think is the root of many of these critical comments, but to say soy sauce (as it exists today) isn't Japanese because of its Chinese origins is like saying Zen Buddhism isn't Japanese because of Buddhism's Indian root (or that pasta isn't Italian because it comes form noodles which spread to Europe from China) = its a simplistic and ultimately inaccurate perspective.

I even read in other video or internet forum when chinese and korean debate to japanese, there are a japanese that claim that the korean is not colonialize by japan but the japanese are helping them and other asian country. That comment got many likes.. seeing many things like this makes me sad that in japan the extreme right is getting more and more.. i also dont like china because of the government and not civilized people from mainland china, but at least in internet if it is about the debate of culture or histocially i am still sided more to china or korean because japanese tend to not know or distorted their history about war or about their culture.

There are several precursors of soy sauce that are associated products with soy paste. Among them the earliest one is Qingjiang (清醬) that had appeared in AD 40 and was listed in Simin Yueling (四民月令).[7] Others are Jiangqing (醬清), Chizhi (豉汁) and Chiqing (豉清) which are recorded in Qimin Yaoshu (齊民要術) in AD 540.[7] By the time of the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD), the term soy sauce (醬油) had become the accepted name for the liquid condiment,[7] which are documented in two books: Shanjia Qinggong (山家清供)[9] and Pujiang Wushi Zhongkuilu (浦江吳氏中饋錄)[10] during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). Chinese Buddhist monks introduced soy sauce into Japan in the 7th century,

If it's made in Yuasa it must be good! (I couldn't resist...). The photography is awsome.

the microbial and fugal growth on the wood paneling of the building where the soy sauce is brewed is said to be a factor in the distinct flavour and aroma of the soy sauce, it is so important that if they need to move to a new factory, they take these panels with them so they can be reinstalled. The flavours and aromas are probably caused by airborne microbes and spores landing on the soy sauce mush thus contributing to the fermentation process.
