Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce Korean Style has been introduced by the brand in the UK as its latest product that's crafted with the signature flavor of Korean barbecue cuisine in mind. The product boasts a naturally brewed soy sauce base that's incorporated with ginger, garlic and sesame oil alongside apples to further enhance the Korean cuisine-inspired taste profile. The product maintains a vegan-friendly recipe that's additive-free and is expected to be right at home within the existing range of Teriyaki flavor options.
UK General Manager Bing-yu Lee spoke on the Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce Korean Style saying, "We set out to develop a product that takes classic BBQ sauce and enrich it with highly popular teriyaki and Korean flavours. Consumers can expect an umami rich, flavour-filled sauce and, just as important, a sauce that is incredibly easy to use. Asian cuisines and especially flavours from Korea are gaining traction, reflecting a demand for authentic ingredients. We’re confident this new line fits with consumers growing demand for deeply rich and ready to use flavours that allows great tasting food to be ready in minutes.
