   I can attest to that. We bought a HUGE canister of Kikkoman's while we
were in Japan 20-mumble years ago and whenever it gets down to 3/4 full, we
refill it with some from the import shop and let it sit for 6 months. It's
so dark and so - powerful - that we have to buy a "regular" American-normal
brand to serve to our guests, most of the time, as they use it without
tasting it and then make the awfulest faces and complain that it's gone bad!
