When he was getting ready to press juice out I was expecting a proper hydraulic press, then he just sits a bottle jack under the beam and goes to town on it.

This video was recorded, voice an edited by only one guy which is the guy that runs the whole factory.

[snicketysnickets]

Poor guy runs the whole factory by himself

This is one of my all time favorite how it’s made videos. It gave me a whole new appreciation for soy sauce. I actually think about this video a lot when I’m consuming soy sauce haha

"damn, i forgot this failed experiment 1 year ago, let's squeeze this"

The original inventor of soy sauce took some real risks. How would you think of all these ingredients together?

[liberalerkapitalist]

I really like the fact that many processes in this factory are still by hand. Thats a nice thing

This video was recorded, voiced an edited by only one guy which is the guy that runs the whole factory. He also manages social media, PR and marketing.

It looked like they were making whiskey at first using grain, yeast, and using used whiskey barrels to ferment the mix. The high tech bottle jack and wooden boards made an impressive press. Just shows you can do anything if you set your mind to it.

narrator : the amount of ingredients is company secret.
the only guy in company : pours ingredients on camera.

[joynosa]

Wow. I have so much respect for this procedure.

12 mos after, the man still wearing the same clothes.

[josie]

why is no one talking about how it takes over a year to make a batch of soy sauce

[meygekon]

The background sound reminds me of vintage porn

[iconsworld]

Is crazy how everything was put together. Amazing.

[sallyportillo]

I'd like to try and make my own soy sauce. I don't like our soy sauce in the Philippines, it doesn't mix well with the dishes. The Japanese soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Indonesia's soy sauce are good seasoning and flavoring.

[DerekLeePerez]

So this one guy makes soy sauce by hand 600 bottles at a time. Incredible

[cattygirl]

its amazing how such things were experimented with to create products like this

[bff]

So many soy sauces. We used to think Kikkoman was the end. Been trying different Japanese, Korean and Chinese soy sauce blends and now we have a collection. Some are good with chicken, beef, fish or shell fish. A different one I use when making beef jerky. So little time, so many, , , wait a minute I am retired, I have all sorts of time.

In korea we use only soybean, salts and water, not a damn thing more.
Instead permented wheat we use permented soybean blosk itself.
In difference of both method comes from the using of different microrganism.
Wheats use Aspergillus oryzae, Soy beans use Bacillus Suubtilis Fungi.

Aspergillus oryzae is mainly involved in glycolysis and is used to make alcohol using rice,
and Bacillus Suubtilis Fungi is mainly involved in proteolysis and is mainly used for
fermentation of protein-rich soybeans.
