is this the same as Usukuchi

Hi Peter,No it is not. Usukuchi is lighter and thinner than their darker, richer counterparts, but have a more assertive, salty flavor and a slight sweetness from the addition of mirin, a sweet rice wine. This product is White Shoyu which is brewed with more wheat. It has a lighter color and flavor. It's typically used as a dipping sauce for sashimi.Thanks so much for your question. I hope this is helpful.

what is sodium content?

The nutrition facts listed the serving amount as 1 tablespoon. Sodium is listed as 970mgs. This white soy sauce is super in recipes where you get the flavor without darkening the color of the food. I use it in Asian salad dressings and pho noodles. Hope this helps.
