'''Tamari''' is a type of [[soy sauce]] that originates from [[Japan]]. It is a byproduct of making [[miso]], a traditional Japanese fermented soybean paste. Unlike regular soy sauce, tamari is made primarily from soybeans, with little to no wheat, which makes it a popular choice for those following a [[gluten-free diet]].

==History==
The production of tamari dates back to the 7th century, when it was discovered as a byproduct of the miso-making process. Historically, tamari was valued for its rich flavor and was often used by the samurai to flavor their food.

==Production==
Tamari is produced through the fermentation of soybeans with water and salt, along with a type of mold called ''Aspergillus oryzae''. The mixture is left to ferment for several months, during which time the enzymes from the mold break down the proteins in the soybeans into amino acids, giving tamari its characteristic rich, umami flavor.

==Culinary Uses==
Tamari is used as a seasoning and condiment in various dishes, both in Japanese cuisine and internationally. It is often used in dipping sauces, marinades, and as a seasoning for cooked dishes. Its rich flavor enhances the taste of sushi, sashimi, tofu, and grilled meats.

==Health Benefits==
Tamari is rich in several minerals, including [[magnesium]], [[iron]], and [[phosphorus]], and is a good source of protein. Its high content of amino acids makes it beneficial for digestion and overall health. Additionally, because it contains little to no wheat, tamari is a suitable soy sauce alternative for those with gluten intolerance or [[celiac disease]].

==Comparison with Other Soy Sauces==
While tamari is similar to other types of soy sauce, it is generally thicker, darker, and has a more balanced flavor with less saltiness. This makes it distinct from other varieties like [[Shoyu]], which contains wheat and has a slightly sweeter taste.
