Det här är vad Kikkoman har att säga om det :
Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce is brewed exactly the same way as all-purpose Kikkoman Soy Sauce. However, after the fermentation process is completed, approximately 40% of the salt is removed. Although there is less sodium in Less Sodium Soy Sauce, all the flavor and quality characteristics remain because it is aged before extracting the salt. However, to maintain this full flavor, we recommend using it during the latter stage of cooking in braising sauces, soups and stews, vegetables or stir-frys.

Another category of soy sauce is low-sodium, which is made with extra chemicals. Cooking instructor and author of "The Chinese Takeout Cookbook" Diana Kuan recommends diluting regular soy sauce if you want less sodium instead of buying the low-sodium stuff.
Ingredienslistan på min Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce innehåller mjölksyra, som inte finns på ingredienslistan av Kikkoman Original Soyasaus, men eftersom det är en biprodukt av jäsning, är jag inte säker på att det betyder någonting .
