Soy Sauce
One might almost rightfully assume that it is best to place an open bottle of soy sauce in the fridge. Well, that is not necessarily the case. And before you put your soy sauce in the fridge, consider keeping it in the pantry, and ensure that the bottle is tightly sealed.
Due to the high nature of sodium in soy sauce, it does a great job at preserving itself. Talk about self-preservation! It helps to protect against spoiling. Some makers of soy sauce, including the likes of Kikkoman, say keep it in a “cool place.” Try it out and let us know.
