Is it a smelly process? My wife (mildly) complains about my fermenting cauliflower as it gives off sulfur compounds (smells a bit farty). Broccoli was one ferment even I couldn’t stand to have around the kitchen, so I ended up putting the jars out on the deck.

Not that it was overly smelly - most of the fermenting time was outside, anyway - but some of the colors of the molds were quite vibrant and at least to Mrs. ricepad, slightly scary. When batch #2 was finished, she commandeered my fermenting tub and repurposed it to reduce the temptation to try it again.
I liked it. The flavor was both milder and fuller than any commercial shoyu I’ve had, if that makes sense. Not as sharply salty, but with a rounder flavor, I guess. My brother liked it, too. My brother-in-law-in-law (that’s what I have always called my brother’s brother-in-law) asked me for a few years afterward if I was going to try again, because his wife saw from the label on the jar I gave them that it was shoyu and dumped it into their big jug of Kikkoman to save space in the pantry, so he never got a chance to taste it.

I’m going back and forth on this one - would you call this a misdemeanor, or a felony?

My reaction was a surprise even to me: Her loss. Of course, had she done that to my own stash, there would have been hell to pay!
