Liquid condiment coming in various forms from China and Japan (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

soy sauce

(Other definitions for soy sauce that I've seen before include "Ingredient in Chinese" , "Staple of eastern cooking" , "addition to a meal" , "Condiment" , "Eastern cooking ingredient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
