LA JOLLA, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2021) - Richard H. Davis, President and CEO of Beverage Marketing USA and Nautilus Mineral Waters of America, states that his company intends to produce and market "Kamikaze" a caffeinated soy sauce. Switching to Kamikaze will wake up your sushi and may prevent "Inemuri" , the Zombie like sleep state, from eating sushi with soy sauce. Japanese soy sauce is naturally high in the amino acid L-glutamate which when combined with the enzymes in raw fish is converted by enzymatic hydrolysis into Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that blocks impulses between nerve cells in the brain. High levels of GABA may be linked to "Inemuri", the half awake half asleep state. Sleeping-but-not-totally-asleep is an epidemic in Japan. This phenomenon has been observed clinically but has not been fully recognised in Japan, unlike Narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep.
Davis, a combat veteran, invented the caffeinated soy sauce while living in Japan serving as a Merchant Marine. "The Kamikaze bug juice really works, falling asleep at the wheel after eating too much sushi and soy sauce is like driving under the influence of a tryptophan laced Turkey." said Davis. "GABA induced sleep is a serious side effect of sushi and soy sauce that can render a driver incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely." noted Davis.
Kamikaze's "essence of taste" is like the salty Pacific ocean, followed by the delicious impact from the sweet savory "umami" flavor due to the addition of monosodium glutamate (MSG) from Ajinomoto, and finally the slight bitterness from the naturally infused caffeine, which is hard to perceive due to the masking effect of the microbe fermentation tastes. The overall flavor of "Kamikaze" soy sauce is a result of the balance and interaction among different taste components. The company is in the process of presenting "Kamikaze" caffeinated soy sauce to major retailers throughout North America and negotiations are currently underway with a national wholesale club store chain and a major convenience store chain, and is concurrently finalizing marketing and distribution plans for the product launch.
