What is the difference between soy sauce and sushi soy sauce?

The soy sauce in sushi restaurant is a special blend called nikiri soy sauce. If you use soy sauce as it is, the flavor will be too strong and will kill the taste of the sushi. Nikiri is a soy sauce traditionally used in sushi restaurants to enhance the cuisine.

 Here's a simplified overview of the production process:

1. **Ingredient Preparation**: The main ingredients for soy sauce are soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. The soybeans and wheat are usually soaked, cooked, and then mixed together.

2. **Koji Mold Cultivation**: The cooked soybeans and wheat mixture is inoculated with koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae). This mold helps to break down the starches in the soybeans and wheat into simpler sugars, which will later be fermented by yeast and lactic acid bacteria.

3. **Fermentation**: The koji mold-inoculated mixture is transferred to fermentation tanks, where it's combined with salt and water. Yeast and lactic acid bacteria are added to initiate fermentation. This fermentation process can take several months to years, depending on the desired flavor profile.

4. **Aging and Maturation**: After fermentation, the liquid is pressed out from the solid residue (morisio). The liquid is then aged in large containers, traditionally wooden barrels, to develop its flavor and aroma.

5. **Filtering and Pasteurization**: Once the desired flavor is achieved, the soy sauce is filtered to remove any remaining solids. It may also undergo pasteurization to ensure food safety and extend its shelf life.

6. **Bottling and Packaging**: The finished sushi soy sauce is bottled and packaged for distribution to consumers.

It's important to note that the exact production process can vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of soy sauce being produced. Additionally, some sushi soy sauces may undergo additional processing or have specific ingredients added to enhance their suitability for use with sushi.
