WHY Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce?

These days, many diners are looking for ways to cut down on salt, but no one wants to miss out on flavour. For chefs and foodservice operators, that’s often the challenge – how do you keep dishes tasting great while responding to health and dietary needs?
These days, many diners are looking for ways to cut down on salt, but no one wants to miss out on flavour. For chefs and foodservice operators, that’s often the challenge – how do you keep dishes tasting great while responding to health and dietary needs?
That’s where Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce comes in. It has 43% less salt than our regular soy sauce, yet still delivers the same rich umami taste that chefs and customers know and love.

How do we do it?

The secret is in the process. We actually start by brewing our full-strength Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce, just like we’ve done for generations. This takes several months and creates that deep and complex flavour. Then, using a special technique, we gently remove 43% of the salt – without watering it down. To bring the flavour back to full balance, we let the sauce go through an extra brewing stage. And, as a result? A Naturally Brewed soy sauce that tastes just as good as the regular one, but with less salt and with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives – just 100% natural, authentic taste.
This isn’t only for hospitals or aged care kitchens, It’s also a smart choice across all of foodservice as it helps you:
  • Offer healthier menu options without losing flavour.
  • Keep recipes consistent while reducing sodium.
  • Stay versatile across different cooking styles.

Where to use it?

Think beyond Asian dishes – this soy sauce works anywhere you want depth of flavour. Try it in:
  • Marinades for meats, seafood, or plant-based proteins.
  • Stir-fries and noodles.
  • Dressings and dips for salads or grazing boards.
  • Sauces and gravies for a rich, umami kick.
