It is not possible to say how long the original flavor will be retained after opening. This is because the speed at which the quality changes differs according to the storage condition. We therefore generally recommend that the product be used as quickly as possible after opening before any changes in flavor arise.
The sauces can be stored for a long time so long as the package has not been opened. However, please note that the taste of soy sauce changes gradually over time, even if unopened. We recommend that the sauces be stored in a cool dark place even if the package has not been opened.
(There will be even less changes to the taste if the sauces are stored in the refrigerator.)
Kamada soy sauce is low in sodium and uses no preservatives. We therefore ask that you keep the sauces refrigerated after opening. Note that even if stored in a refrigerator, the flavor will change after several months if the package has been opened. After opening, check the flavor before use, and use the product as quickly as possible.
The best-before date is provided to give you a general idea of how long the original flavor will be retained. However, note that an across-the-board expiration date cannot be provided because the quality changes differ greatly depending on the storage condition. We would like our customers to enjoy the original best taste and flavor, so we recommend that you refrain from using products that have passed the best-before date.
The white substance that looks like mold is actually a yeast that grows even in a high-sodium environment. It is called film yeast, and it is not mold. Film yeast does not cause food poisoning. In terms of food sanitation, there is no problem with a sauce even if film yeast develops. However, if left as is, the yeast will spoil the aroma of the sauce as well as change the flavor. Please remove it as soon as you notice it.
Fungi and yeast are actually microorganisms that have been used since ancient times in the fermentation process associated with making such items as sake, miso (fermented bean paste) and soy sauce. Our products are heat-sterilized during carton packing. This is why it can be stored at room temperature so long as the package is not opened. Note, however, that Kamada soy sauce is low in sodium and uses no preservatives. We therefore ask that you keep the sauces refrigerated after opening (and the sauce has come into contact with air). Pouring the sauces into another container for use/storage may also result in the sauces becoming tainted during handling or contaminated with yeast fungus in the air. We therefore recommend that you do not use our sauces in a different container.
One of the causes of a dripping spout is the lowered viscosity of the sauces in higher temperatures. There will be less dripping if the sauces are used at lower room temperatures or if stored in the refrigerator. Another cause may be that the spout is wet, preventing it from staying drip-free. On the other hand, residual sauce on the spout may have dried up and solidified, adhering to the spout. We recommend that in either case, you use a clean paper towel, etc., to wipe the spout.
The Salad Soy Sauce contains many natural ingredients such as vegetable extracts, pepper and chili sauce, which may settle in the carton. To prevent these vegetable ingredients from solidifying, we recommend that you close the cap tightly and shake well before use.
When manufacturing the sauces, we use the same blend of ingredients every time. Strictly speaking, however, there are subtle differences in the quality of natural ingredients, such as the soy sauce, katsuobushi (dried bonito), sababushi (dried mackerel) and kelp used, and this may have an impact on the product flavor. These differences in quality cause absolutely no problems in terms of product quality. If you notice a difference, it could be that you have picked up on these subtle differences.
Note also that the flavor may be easily affected depending on storage conditions. We ask that you keep the sauces refrigerated.
