Soy sauce, 1.9 litres. This is a 1.9LTR foodservice bottle of Chinese dark soy sauce from Lee Kum Kee — the Hong Kong-based Chinese sauce giant established in 1888. This is aged longer than light soy, with a darker colour, thicker consistency, and a slightly sweet, less salty profile. Used primarily for braising, colour-finishing, and giving Chinese dishes their characteristic mahogany hue.

Use it for Chinese red-cooked dishes (hong shao), braising sauces, beef short rib, lamb, lo mein and chow mein noodle colouring, and fried rice (Yangzhou-style) colour-finishing.

Store it cool and dry. Refrigerate it after opening. Allergens on the pack: Soy, wheat (gluten).

Use Japanese soy for dipping sushi, seasoning ramen broth and making teriyaki. Light soy is for stir-fries and dressings, while dark soy adds colour and depth to braises. Usukuchi is lighter in colour, so it seasons a dish without darkening it. Pick up sushi nori and miso while you're here, or browse the whole Japanese pantry. Buying wholesale for restaurants?

Questions We Get Asked

Which soy sauce is best for sushi?

A Japanese soy such as Kikkoman is the classic choice for dipping. If you're watching salt, Kikkoman Low Sodium or Yamasa Less Salt keep the flavour with less salt.

What's the difference between light and dark soy sauce?

Light soy is thinner and saltier and is used for everyday seasoning. Dark soy is thicker and a little sweeter and is mostly used for colour in braised and stewed dishes.

Do you have halal soy sauce?

Sakura Jirushi Usukuchi Sauce 0% is labelled halal on the product. Check each product page for the details on the pack.

Which size suits a restaurant?

Many kitchens keep 1-litre bottles on the pass and refill from a 10- or 18-litre container. We deliver Monday to Saturday to Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi.
