Umami Soy-Free Sauces

Umami Joy Sauce Made with Just Three Simple Ingredients

— March 20, 2023 — Lifestyle
Kikkoman recently launched its first soy sauce alternative, Kikkoman Umami Joy Sauce, and it was created to bring umami flavor to everything from marinades to sushi and more. This simple condiment is made with just three ingredients (fermented tomato extract, salt and water) and it stands out for being non-GMO, gluten-free, wheat-free and free from added preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup.

Alternative soy sauces, such as tamari and coconut aminos, have gained popularity among consumers due to their unique flavor profiles and health benefits. Whether they are choosing tamari for their richer taste and gluten-free benefits or coconut aminos for its slight sweetness, consumers are choosing alternative soy sauces as a way to add flavor and nutrition to their meals while also accommodating dietary restrictions.
