Soy sauce in clear packets is nothing like the bottles?

Question

Does anyone agree that the clear packets are awful. It's totally different from the bottles.

Answer 1

Who makes the packets? Is it the same brand you would find in a bottle?

Some of the packet soy sauces are the cheap stuff.

I think packaged Kikkoman is the same as Kikkoman from the bottle.

Answer 2

It depends on the brand you like. For me, the packets we get here in Western Canada are the same as the type of soy sauce I buy (China Lily).
I don't like the other kinds, like Kikoman (sp?) which is fermented.

Answer 3

I have never had the equivalent of the brand I use at home in a packet form. However, I do agree that what I get in packet form has never been as good as the bottle brand I use at home...
