Default is there a good way to compare soy sauces?

Yes. Maybe trickier than, say, chocolate tastings.

I suppose that, if one wants to be (scary word here) authentic,
one should cook with soy sauce from the appropriate region. Back
when I started cooking Asian food, there may have just been LaChoy
here. Then I could find Kikkoman, so that was a revelation.
