Kikkoman Sesame Sauce is a creamy and savory condiment widely used in Asian cuisine, particularly as a dressing for salads or a dipping sauce for hot pots. The brand Kikkoman has its roots in Japan, dating back to the 17th century when its founding families began producing soy sauce in Noda. Today, Kikkoman is a global leader in soy sauce and related food seasonings.

While the brand is quintessentially Japanese, its manufacturing is highly localized to serve global markets. For the European market, products like this sesame sauce are often manufactured in the Netherlands or Germany to ensure freshness and efficiency. The ultimate ownership remains with Kikkoman Corporation, headquartered in Noda, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, which continues to control the brand's global production and distribution standards.
