BNP Media Helps People Succeed in Business with Superior Information
hen it comes to creating Asian flavors for American palates, Kikkoman has led the way for more than half a century— from introducing naturally brewed soy sauce to creating the world’s first bottled teriyaki sauce. No wonder our products—and our expertise—are key ingredients in today’s hottest Asian-inspired foods and menu items.
W
BEYOND SOY SAUCE We offer a growing line of authentic Asian sauces, seasonings and flavor systems, from classics like Thai Style Chili and Black Bean sauces to specialty ingredients like Salted Sake and Kotterin.
SOY SAUCE Rich in umami components, our naturally brewed soy sauces are perfectly balanced for delicate flavor and color. And they’re natural flavor enhancers that give you a clean-label solution for all kinds of applications, from Asian to mainstream. We offer more soy sauce options than any company in the world—including liquid, dehydrated, granulated, less sodium, preservative-free and even clear—in pack sizes ranging from drums and totes to tankers.
BREWED IN THE USA These days, considering the source is more important than ever. Our soy sauce is naturally brewed in the U.S. in two HACCPapproved plants, using only North American–grown soybeans and wheat, 100% natural salt and pure water. You can count on consistent flavor, performance, supply and safety with every order.
KIKKOMAN. YOUR KEY TO THE ASIAN FLAVORS AMERICA LOVES.
