Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce

Kikkoman is the global leader in soy sauce, with a history stretching back over 300 years to the Edo period in Japan. The specific product shown is the iconic 150ml tabletop glass dispenser, which is a staple in Japanese restaurants and households worldwide. Although the bottle in the image explicitly states it is a "Product of Japan," Kikkoman has established a global manufacturing presence to meet international demand.

For the European and UK markets, Kikkoman primarily produces its liquid soy sauce at a dedicated facility in Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Netherlands, which has been in operation since 1997. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of its founding entity, the Kikkoman Corporation, which is headquartered in Noda, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The company is publicly traded and continues to be led by descendants of the original founding families, symbols of the "kikko" (tortoise shell) logo representing longevity.
