Squeeze bottles are becoming popular packaging choices for household condiments, borrowing the same practical format used in back-of-house restaurant kitchens for precision and mess reduction, and Ni-Howdy Squeezable Soy Sauce is the first of its kind in the organic soy sauce space. For the longest time, soy sauce has stayed stuck in heavy glass bottles but Ni-Howdy is liberating the versatile dark sauce from bottles prone to dripping and drying around the cap. "Every other bottle in the fridge got smarter. Soy sauce didn't," said Zach De Bernardi, co-founder of Ni-Howdy. "We built the bottle we wanted on our own counter: one hand on the wok, one hand on the squeeze. No cap to unscrew, no puddle on the shelf, no over-pour drowning your rice."
Thanks to a silicone flow-control valve that only releases soy sauce with a squeeze, Ni-Howdy Squeezable Soy Sauce's bottle can be flipped, shaken, and stored without leaving a trace of its contents behind.
