Organic Oat Shoyu

Slow Sauce

£8

Organic Oat Shoyu Complex, savoury, and packed with umami. Our oat shoyu is carefully barrel-aged in oak casks for 3 months, blending Scottish oats with Carlin fox peas for a long umami finish. Use it generously in stir-fries, dressings, or drizzle over steamed vegetables or rice to unlock layers of deep flavour. Shoyu is the traditional Japanese term for soy sauce, typically made from fermented soybeans and wheat, and we use the word because we follow the same fermentation process using Scottish oats and Carlin peas instead. Contains: Organic Scottish Gluten-free oats (50%), organic Carlin fo

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SLOW SAUCE LTD, number SC768118. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
