Less Sodium Soy Sauce

If you’re looking to reduce sodium in your diet, give Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce a try. It’s traditionally brewed in exactly the same way as our original Kikkoman® Soy Sauce, but we remove approximately 40% of the salt after the fermentation and aging process is complete. That means you get all the delicious flavor and umami—and the amazing all-purpose versatility—of original Kikkoman® Soy Sauce with much less sodium. Like our regular Soy Sauce, Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce is brewed in the USA to exacting quality standards using 100% North American sourced ingredients.  

How to Use Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce

Less Sodium, Same Great Flavor.   Use Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce just as you would Kikkoman® Soy Sauce to enhance whatever you’re cooking.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
