- cthalupa 8y agoThe article is about traditional Japanese soy sauce, or shoyu. An article about traditional Chinese soy sauce, or jiangyou, would be very different. And the products are quite different as well. Most of the Western world is thinking of Japanese style soy sauce when they just see 'soy sauce', though, and the BBC is targeting a western audience. They do explain in the article that it was originally imported to Japan from China.
