Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Kikkoman Soy Sauce 600ml gluten-free? A: No — it contains wheat. For a gluten-free option, we stock Kikkoman Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce, brewed without wheat.

Q: What makes Kikkoman different from cheaper soy sauces? A: Kikkoman is naturally brewed through slow fermentation, giving it a complex, rounded umami flavour. Most budget soy sauces are chemically processed, which produces a harsher, less nuanced taste. Once you use Kikkoman regularly, the difference is very noticeable.

Q: How long does an opened bottle last? A: Use within 1 month at room temperature, or refrigerate after opening to preserve colour and flavour for up to 3 months.

Q: Is this the same recipe used in Japanese restaurants? A: Yes — Kikkoman Regular Soy Sauce is the industry standard used in Japanese restaurants worldwide, including South Africa.

Q: Can I buy Kikkoman Soy Sauce online in South Africa? A: Yes — Fabasian stocks the full Kikkoman range and delivers nationwide across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
