Product Details
The limited edition Chiiwa design will be available for two Kikkoman products: the "Kikkoman Anytime Fresh Marouma Soy Sauce" (620ml) and the "Kikkoman Anytime Fresh Rich Flavor Low-Sodium Soy Sauce" (620ml). Each product showcases original artwork designed to resonate with the essence of Chiiwa.
Sales Period: Expected from early June to the end of July 2026.
Kikkoman Anytime Fresh Marouma Soy Sauce 620ml
This soy sauce is renowned for its buttery richness and deep umami flavor, derived from high-quality whole soybeans. Enhanced with pure rice mirin, it adds a natural sweetness to dishes, creating a balanced and delectable flavor profile. Specifically, it’s a low-sodium variety that features 20% less salt without compromising on taste. The result is a satisfying sauce that enhances meals, making even the simplest of dishes tastier for the entire family.
Kikkoman Anytime Fresh Rich Flavor Low-Sodium Soy Sauce 620ml
Unlike typical soy sauces that contain about 17.5% salt, this low-sodium version offers a 40% reduction. Yet, it remains robust in flavor, providing a savory profile complemented by smooth sweetness and umami richness. This versatile sauce can be used just as you would with regular soy sauces, whether for dipping, dressing, or adding to stir-fries and stews.
