White Soy Sauce
White soy sauce is also known as shoyu. It is clearer and thinner than traditional soy sauce and as such adds flavor to food without darkening them.
Cheerwine
Per the Lee Bros. “The recipe for glass bottles is different from the cans and jugs. Mostly cane sugar for the bottled Cheerwine; corn syrup for the standard stuff. The clean taste of the bottled Cheerwine can't be beat.”
Raw Peanuts
Kombu
Edible kelp that is extensively cultivated on ropes in the seas of Japan and Korea.
