Kikkoman Soy Sauce

Kikkoman is the world's leading manufacturer of soy sauce, famous for its iconic dispenser bottle designed by Kenji Ekuan. The brand's history dates back to the 17th century in Noda, Japan, where the Mogi and Takanashi families combined their brewing expertise to form the predecessor of today's global enterprise.

The product shown is Kikkoman's naturally brewed soy sauce, produced via a traditional fermentation process known as honjozo. While the brand is quintessentially Japanese, Kikkoman has established major production facilities globally to serve different markets. For the European market (as indicated by the 'Sauce Soja' and 'Sojasauce' labeling), production typically takes place at their facility in Sappemeer, the Netherlands. Ownership remains with the Kikkoman Corporation, headquartered in Japan, which operates as the ultimate parent company overseeing its global brewing and distribution network.
