Fall's Favorites: Cozy Pasta & Pumpkin Dishes

October is National Pasta Month, and Kikkoman is celebrating with a culinary journey that begins on October 1st, National Soy Sauce Day. The celebration kicks off by highlighting the 2025 Chef Roll Contest winner, Chef Mark’s innovative Soy Squid Ink Dumplings with Clarified Mushroom Consommé. This recipe brilliantly uses Kikkoman Soy Sauce not only to season the delicate mushroom filling and consommé but also as a key ingredient in the dough, providing striking color and depth. Mid-month, we transition to sweet notes, celebrating Chef Denise Covert of BJ’s Restaurants, which features the savory-sweet profile of Kikkoman Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce. Finally, we conclude the month's festivities by celebrating National Pasta Day on October 17th with Chef Robbie's inspired Wafu Italian dish, perfectly marrying Eastern and Western flavors. Get in touch with us to schedule ideation for your menu refresh project!
