Kikkoman is one of the world's most recognized brands of soy sauce, with a history dating back to the 17th century in Noda, Japan. The brand was officially established through the merger of several family-owned breweries, forming the company that is known today for its naturally brewed fermentation process.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, its manufacturing footprint is truly global. To meet international demand, Kikkoman operates major production facilities in Japan, the United States, the Netherlands (serving the European market), Singapore, China, and Taiwan. The bottle shown features labeling in Spanish and Italian, suggesting it was likely produced in their European facility located in Sappemeer, Netherlands, to serve the EU market.

Kikkoman remains an independent entity owned by the Kikkoman Corporation, headquartered in Chiba, Japan. The company has maintained its market leadership by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern food technology, expanding into various seasonings, juices, and biotechnology services while keeping its signature soy sauce as the core of its business.
