I think my supermarkets carry Pearl River and Kikkoman, among
other brands. I may be crazy, but I generally use Kikkoman or
maybe San-J (?) for Japanese food, Kimlan or Pearl River for
Chinese food, ABC for Indonesian and Malaysian food, etc. When I
was a kid, the only soy sauce available was La Choy. Kikkoman was
a real discovery after that.
