The flavour: a mixture of many natural aromas

During the six-month fermentation process, Kikkoman soy sauce develops its deep, reddish-brown colour, transparency, rich, full flavour and spicy aroma. The sauce's special flavour is created as a result of the combination of around 300 different natural aromas. When used for cooking, these substances subtly flavour the food to enrich its natural flavour – without masking it!
