Kikkoman Soy Sauce (Table Use) 150ml

Authentic Japanese Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce · Shoyu

Kikkoman is Japan's most iconic soy sauce brand, founded in 1917 in Noda, Chiba Prefecture. Crafted from just four ingredients — water, soybeans, wheat, and salt — this authentic Shoyu (醤油) is naturally brewed over several months, making it the most familiar condiment on the Japanese family table. Its deep, rounded umami flavour with a well-balanced saltiness elevates everything from Sushi and Sashimi to Udon and everyday home cooking.

Traditional Japanese Brewing Method

Water, soybeans, wheat, salt — just four ingredients. Kikkoman Soy Sauce has followed the same traditional Japanese brewing method since 1917, using only these four natural ingredients. No artificial additives, preservatives, colourings, or fermentation accelerators are used. Rather than chemical hydrolysis, which shortens production time, the sauce is slowly matured over several months through the power of nature alone.

Months of natural brewing. Steamed soybeans and roasted wheat are combined with koji mould to create "moromi" (諸味) — the starting point of fermentation. This mash is then mixed with brine and left to mature slowly in large fermentation tanks for several months. During this time, natural yeasts and lactic acid bacteria produce approximately 300 aromatic compounds and a wealth of umami amino acids. As a natural result of fermentation, around 2% alcohol is generated, adding the characteristic fragrant depth of Shoyu.

A parallel with European fermentation culture. Just as French cheese, Italian wine, and German Sauerkraut develop deep flavour through time and the action of microorganisms, Japanese Shoyu is made by the same principle. Not merely salty, but rounded and complex — shaped by time. This is the essence of naturally brewed soy sauce.

Japanese-Style Uses · Estilo Japonés

Discover how Kikkoman Soy Sauce is used on the Japanese family table — here are six of the most iconic Japanese dishes it brings to life.

Sushi
寿司
Sushi combines fresh fish with vinegared rice in one of Japan's most celebrated dishes. The authentic way is to dissolve a little wasabi into Kikkoman Soy Sauce and lightly dip only the fish side — never the rice. This is considered proper Japanese table etiquette.
Sashimi
刺身
Sashimi — thinly sliced fresh fish served as is — is regarded as the pinnacle of Japanese culinary culture. Because soy sauce is the only seasoning, the quality of the sauce defines the quality of the dish. Kikkoman's deep umami draws out the natural sweetness of the fish.
Tempura
天ぷら
Tempura is Japan's iconic dish of prawns and vegetables coated in a light batter and deep-fried. It is served with a warm soy-based dipping sauce called Tentsuyu (天つゆ), accompanied by grated daikon radish. Mix Kikkoman Soy Sauce, mirin, and katsuobushi dashi in a 3:1:3 ratio for an authentic Tentsuyu.
Udon & Soba
うどん・蕎麦
Udon (thick wheat noodles) and Soba (buckwheat noodles) are among the most beloved noodle dishes in Japanese households. Soy sauce is the backbone of both the warm broth and the cold dipping sauce (tsuyu). Adding Kikkoman Soy Sauce to dashi (katsuobushi stock) and mirin creates a clean, deeply flavoured Japanese-style broth.
Donburi
丼物
Donburi is a Japanese rice bowl dish topped with various ingredients served over warm steamed rice. Whether Gyudon (beef), Oyakodon (chicken and egg), or Katsudon (pork cutlet), the heart of every Donburi is a sweet-savoury sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and dashi — with Kikkoman Soy Sauce as the essential base.
Onigiri
おにぎり
Onigiri is Japan's iconic rice ball, beloved as a lunchbox (bento) staple or snack. Yaki-Onigiri (焼きおにぎり) — rice balls brushed with Kikkoman Soy Sauce and grilled until golden — allows the sauce to soak into the rice, creating a toasty, fragrant flavour that is hard to resist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Kikkoman Soy Sauce taste like, and how do I use it?

Kikkoman Soy Sauce is a liquid seasoning with a salty yet deep and rich umami flavour. Umami is considered the fifth basic taste — alongside sweet, salty, sour, and bitter — often described as a savoury depth. It can be used in small amounts across a wide range of dishes including stir-fries, soups, stews, marinades, and dressings to add complexity and depth. The 150ml table-use bottle is also ideal for keeping on the dining table and drizzling directly over finished dishes to adjust seasoning. As the salt content is very high at 16.9g per 100ml, we recommend using only 1–2 teaspoons (approximately 5–10ml) at a time.

Is this soy sauce suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes, Kikkoman Soy Sauce (Table Use) 150ml is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The ingredients consist solely of Water, Soybeans, Wheat, and Salt, with no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever.

I have allergies — is this product safe for me?

This product contains major allergens that must be declared under EU Regulation EC 1169/2011. Specifically, it contains Gluten (from wheat) and Soybeans. Anyone with a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance (including coeliac disease), or a soy allergy, should avoid this product. This product is not gluten-free. If you require a gluten-free soy sauce, please look for a Tamari-style product instead. Additionally, as a small amount of alcohol is naturally produced during the fermentation process, those who must strictly avoid alcohol should take care before consuming this product.

How is soy sauce made? Is it a fermented food?

Yes, Kikkoman Soy Sauce is a naturally fermented food made using traditional methods. Soybeans, wheat, salt, and water are combined and then undergo a process of natural fermentation and maturation. During this fermentation, complex and deep umami flavours are developed. Just as European cheeses and wines acquire their distinctive character through ageing, traditional Japanese Shoyu develops its profound depth of flavour through fermentation and maturation — far beyond what its simple ingredients might suggest. Kikkoman also uses verified non-GMO soybeans in its production.

How should I store this product after opening?

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, we recommend sealing the cap tightly and refrigerating the bottle. Refrigeration helps preserve the flavour and quality for longer. As this is a compact 150ml bottle, it is best used relatively quickly after opening. Always check the best before date printed on the product label.
