I went to a larger store in another town and there were
a zillion kinds of soy sauce. I skipped over one brand
because it had MSG, but that still left quite a few.

A woman asked in English if she could help me. I said I didn't know what the difference was and she said, "Neither do I."

Look for Kikkoman and thank me later.

I think Kikkoman is the best tasting as well - don't know about MSG though.

I was curious too, and a quick google of the terms reveals that 진 soy sauce is a good general soy sauce for fried rice and such, whereas 양조 is good for dipping raw fish. 조선 soy sauce is the same as 국 soy sauce and is good for soups as the name implies. I guess 조림 soy sauce is good for 조림 which is a variety of sidedish that's kinda hard to explain and you probably don't want to make (it includes those little brown eggs and that vegetable that looks like Honeycomb cereal). I dunno about the rest or about specific brands. They sure do give a lot of variety, though, don't they?

Yeah, most korean soy sauces taste a little sweet or something too me.

Kikoman is by far the best. Go japs!
