Nama Shoyu is raw soy sauce. Perhaps it would be in the Asian section of the grocery store, or in an Asian market.
EDIT: Here (in the U.S.) people also use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos as a substitute. I don’t know if that is available in Ireland, but it is found in the health food section.
Maybe its not in the shops over here. I went to the Asian supermarket but they didnt have it or the Braggs one. I might be able to buy it on ebay or something. So its basically like soya sauce but raw?
I just got me dehydrator delivered from the states today! I’m so excited. Haven’t ever met anyone in this country who has even heard of raw foods or dehydration! My friend was here when it was delivered and she looked at me as if I had two head. LOL
Well its 11pm here and I just had to put something in the dehydrator before going to bed! I couldnt possibly wait till tomorrow. Plus I wont get time during the day with 3 kids around. So I bunged in some banana, for want of anything else. It seemed a waste to have it on for 1/2 a tray of banana so I made my own cookie recipe, chaning some of the ingredients in one from Rawvolution book, and I have no idea what it will taste like! I hope its not disgusting! Will let you know tomorrow. Wish me luck.
CleopatraNI: My understanding is that Nama Shoyu is the very same thing as soy sauce except that it is raw. (Nama is the Japanese word for Raw)
Bragg’s would be at a healthfood store, if it is available.
A healthier alternative to soy sauce is Tamari Sauce (althought I cannot recall why—I have the impression that it is less processed and is wheat-free). It isn’t raw though.
Thanks Joy. I do use Tamari Sauce. It seems to be the only one avaible here, through all my searching. I guess I will stick with it until the others arrive in NI.
You can purchase RAW nama shoyu from Alissa Cohen’s site or type in keyword raw nama shoyu and get other sites.
It is aged and feremented but it does have soybeans which is the drawback to me—for someone who avoids soy products.
Should the nama shoyu be refrigerated after opening? I just opened a bottle and I’m not sure.
mmhh… i `ve always thot its kinda cooked….
