Kikkoman All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce is built on a naturally brewed soy sauce base, blended with sugar, wine, and yeast extract to create a sauce optimised for stir-fry cooking. While regular soy sauce is primarily salty, this wok sauce offers a balanced combination of sweetness and deep umami flavour, allowing you to use it directly in stir-fried rice, vegetable stir-fries, and meat dishes without any additional seasoning. One bottle replaces multiple condiments such as soy sauce, sugar, and salt, making it a convenient choice even for those new to Japanese cooking.

Yes, this product is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. Based on the ingredient list, no animal-derived ingredients are included. However, this product does not carry an official vegan certification (such as the Vegan Society trademark), so those requiring strict certification are advised to contact the manufacturer directly before purchasing. Please also note that this product contains wine, so those avoiding alcohol should take care.

This product contains major allergens that must be declared under EU food labelling law (Regulation 1169/2011). Specifically: ① Gluten — wheat is used in the soy sauce base, making this product unsuitable for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. ② Soybeans — a primary ingredient in soy sauce; those with soy allergies should avoid this product. ③ Sulphites/Sulphur dioxide — derived from the wine component; those sensitive to sulphites should exercise caution. If any of the above allergens apply to you, please consult a medical professional before consuming this product.

The soy sauce that forms the base of this wok sauce is made by naturally fermenting soybeans and wheat using traditional methods. Just as European cheeses and wines develop complex, deep flavours through fermentation and ageing, soy sauce builds its rich umami character through a traditional fermentation process. However, this product as a whole is a stir-fry sauce that blends naturally fermented soy sauce with other ingredients — it is not classified as a fermented food in its entirety. Think of the fermented soy sauce base as the source of its deep, layered flavour.

As a soy sauce-based condiment, Kikkoman All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce has a relatively high sodium content (approximately 10.5g of salt per 100ml). Those following a low-sodium diet or who need to limit sodium intake are advised to adjust the amount used accordingly. When cooking stir-fry dishes, we recommend adding the sauce gradually while tasting, and avoiding additional salt or soy sauce. This product is not a low-sodium product.
