会社について

■ What does the company do? When is it needed?

KIKKOMAN CORPORATION is a global food manufacturer (holding company) that spreads Japanese food culture to the world, with soy sauce at its core. Founded in 1917, it has a history of more than 100 years.
Business overview: As a holding company, KIKKOMAN CORPORATION is responsible for developing group-wide strategy and overseeing its operating companies. The Group defines its business domains as (1) the manufacture and sale of food products, and (2) the provision of products and services related to "food and health," developed on a global scale.
Main products: A wide range of seasonings and food products, including soy sauce, mirin and cooking sake, noodle soups/ponzu/dashi, sauces, ketchup and sauces (Del Monte), Japanese-style cooking bases, beverages, soymilk, Japanese wine (Manns Wines), and products for commercial/foodservice use.
Real-world applications:
- 🏠 Everyday home cooking, from Japanese cuisine to meat dishes
- 🍖 "Teriyaki Sauce," which draws on the great match between soy sauce and meat dishes (launched in 1961; "TERIYAKI" now appears in Webster's dictionary)
- 🍽️ Use by restaurants and top chefs overseas
- 🌍 Daily use of soy sauce in more than 100 countries around the world
Additional unique points: As symbolized by the catchphrase "ALL-PURPOSE SEASONING" that originated in the United States, soy sauce is enjoyed worldwide as a condiment that blends naturally with local ingredients and dishes, not only with Japanese food. In the U.S., "KIKKOMAN" has even become synonymous with "Soy Sauce."

Kikkoman is a truly global company that has pursued the challenge of "bringing soy sauce to the world" for more than half a century. At the heart of this journey is the desire to deliver Japanese food culture overseas and to blend it with the food cultures of each country.
