Lima Tamari Less Salt is a premium, organic, and gluten-free soy sauce characterized by its rich umami flavor and a significant reduction in sodium. The brand was founded in 1957 by Pierre Gevaert in Belgium, inspired by George Ohsawa and the philosophy of macrobiotics. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in the harmony of Yin and Yang, which is reflected in its commitment to plant-based and minimally processed foods.

While the brand itself is Belgian, its Tamari sauces are traditionally manufactured in Japan using artisanal methods. The production involves a long fermentation process (typically 6 to 8 months) of pure soybeans, ensuring an authentic taste that adheres to Japanese quality standards. This specific 'Less Salt' version is designed to meet modern nutritional preferences without sacrificing the deep, complex flavors of traditional Tamari.

Today, Lima is a part of the Hain Celestial Group, an American leading organic and natural products company. The brand continues to operate with a focus on sustainable and healthy food alternatives, maintaining its original philosophy while being distributed globally as a staple in macrobiotic and health-conscious diets.
