The Takumi Story
In Japanese, the word takumi means “craftsmanship.” But it’s more than a word. It’s a philosophy- a profound respect for the mastery of a craft. At Kikkoman, this philosophy guides everything we do.
Now more than ever, we know you care about the art of cooking and the quality of the ingredients you use. So we used our centuries of skill and craftsmanship-our own time-tested takumi- to create a line of very special teriyaki sauces. We wanted to bring America’s home cooks what they want: big, bold flavor, rich umami, and premium ingredients you can see, smell and taste in every mouthwatering bite. When it came time to give these sauces a name, we chose that beautiful word that captures the essence of everything we do. We called the sauces Takumi.
Our Teriyaki Takumi sauces take teriyaki to a whole new level of artisanal appeal, with perfectly balanced flavors, luscious textures, and plenty of whole ingredients, like toasted sesame seeds, fragrant diced ginger, and chunks of chopped garlic. Whether you’re serving a special meal or just whipping up a weeknight dinner, these sauces make it easy to bring out the craftsmanship in your cooking.
That’s why we call Takumi America’s Artisan Teriyaki™.
