Your mother is correct. Japanese people use shoyu very sparingly and actually putting any on gohan is embarrassing.
I don’t use very much shoyu at all, and a bottle will last me years. The only time I have used it lately was when I made some home made poke, and even then, I didn’t pour it on The rice.
