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.

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.

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.

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.
