About

About San-J International San-J International, Inc. is dedicated to the manufacture of premium Tamari soy sauce and quality Asian-inspired products. We endeavor to produce excellence in our products and services. In 1804 Mie, Japan, the Sato family boldly left their shipping business in the three rivers province to start a Tamari soy sauce company that thrives there to this day. Family tradition, Japanese cuisine philosophy, coupled with the inspiration from the hippie generation in the U.S., the family decided to introduce America to the flavor of Japanese Tamari. First importing Tamari to Natural and Asian grocers in the U.S. the business grew so that in 1987 the first U.S. San-J facility opened in Henrico, VA. Now expanding this location, it was chosen because of its similarity to Mie. Boldly moving towards the future again in a new country, San-J continues to embrace traditions and honors the memory of their origin at the three rivers by representing them with the three bars in our logo. Eight generations later the Sato family faithfully continues the mastery and tradition of Japanese fermentation methods and brewing of tamari. San-J is proud to be a trusted tamari soy sauce brand in the marketplace today. San-J Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce is made with 100% soy and no wheat for a richer, smoother taste.

When the Sato family began making soy sauce and miso as the San-Jirushi company in 1804, they started a legacy that still boldly endures. Eight generations have passed along the method of brewing high-quality Tamari from the finest soybeans. It starts with our Tamari. Unlike typical soy sauce, which contains about 40-60% wheat, Tamari is a type of soy sauce that is made with 100% soybeans and no wheat. This means more soy protein is contained in the finished product, resulting in a milder taste and higher complexity of flavors in the sauce. It is said that Tamari is the origin of Japanese soy sauce, and our brewing methods continue to provide authentic food experiences in today’s kitchens. We make our Tamari with no artificial preservatives, flavors or color added, and it is non-GMO verified by the Non-GMO Project.
