Founded in Japan in 1917, Tongwan Zhenji Food Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Kikkoman Co., Ltd., is one of the top ten brands of soy sauce, a leading manufacturer of food condiments in Japan, focusing on the production and sales of soy sauce-related condiments and Japanese-style delicatessen seasonings

In 1917, the Motegi family, the Takanashi family, and the Horikiri family merged to form Noda Soy Sauce Co., Ltd. Noda Soy Sauce Co., Ltd. was renamed Kikkoman Soy Sauce Co., Ltd. in 1964 and later renamed Kikkoman Co., Ltd. in 1980. Since then, production bases have been established in various countries around the world.

The Kikkoman logo is composed of the traditional Chinese character "Man" embedded in the hexagonal middle of the carapace of the turtle, which symbolizes longevity, and has long been loved by everyone and has become the most authoritative symbol of soy sauce brands.

Since July 1, 2009, the name of KIKKOMAN's products in China has been changed from "Kikkoman" to "Manji Soy Sauce". We will continue to insist on selecting high-quality raw materials to ensure that every drop of "Wanzi Soy Sauce" has world-class high quality.

The soy sauce is made from carefully selected ingredients, and contains more than 300 aromatic ingredients, including sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami, which is the secret of Kikkoman's deliciousness.

As a leading brand of soy sauce, Kikkoman has played a huge role in supporting the development of Japanese food culture since the Edo period.

Combining the "tradition" cultivated over the course of a long history with the "innovation" that always discerns the direction of the times, it is Kikkoman's corporate climate. Since the establishment of the joint-stock company in 1917, it has gone through nearly 100 years.

In our business activities, we aim to "exchange food culture internationally" and introduce the wonderful food culture of Japan to the world, as well as the excellent food culture of the world.

In addition, we will bring Toyo food, mainly Japanese food, to the tables of families around the world, so that everyone's eating life can be more colorful and flavorful.
