Tamari (Tama) - Tamari

Japanese: たまり(溜) - たまり
Tamari (Tama) - Tamari
It is an abbreviation of misodamari or tamari soy sauce, but the latter is the one used today. Miso damari is the exudate that accumulates in the bottom of a vat after miso has been prepared, and it is said that soy sauce was created from this liquid being drawn off and used in cooking. Tamari soy sauce is made with a higher proportion of soybeans than regular soy sauce, which uses roughly equal amounts of soybeans and wheat. It is dark, thick, and has a rich flavor, and is used as a soy sauce for dipping sashimi. It developed in the Nagoya area, but production is low today.

Japanese:
みそだまり,あるいは,たまりじょうゆの略であるが,現在では後者をいう。みそだまりは,みそを仕込んだのち桶の底などにたまってくる浸出液で,これを汲み取って料理に用いたことから,しょうゆがつくられたとされる。たまりじょうゆは,一般のしょうゆがほぼ同量のダイズとコムギを使うのに対して,ダイズの割合を大きくしてつくるもので,黒くとろりとして濃厚な味をもち,刺身のつけじょうゆなどに用いられる。名古屋地方で発達したものだが,現在の生産は少ない。
