your father's soy sauce By CAH on March 7, 2014 Verified PurchaseI bought my first bottle of this a few years ago, and what a difference! It's not salty and tasteless; there are layers of deliciousness that improve cooking, and even a splash on a fried egg makes for a gourmet experience. Plus, no one ever gets an MSG-headache from this sauce. Highly recommend pitching all your other soy sauce and sticking with Bluegrass. Comment Was this review helpful to you?
