Since starting Steamy Kitchen, I’ve been making it a point to learn about the people behind the products that I feed my family. Not only is the quality of the product important, but the integrity and goodness of the team is, too. Kikkoman asked me to watch this documentary called Make Haste Slowly: The Kikkoman Creed, which was directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker. The 24-minute documentary tells the story of Kikkoman’s rich heritage and the family creed that has shaped the company for over 300 years. At first I didn’t quite know what to expect from this film, but I was so surprised and interested in all the rich family and company history that they talked about. I want to give you a run-down of the interesting parts so that you might appreciate this company the way I do.
Kikkoman is a family-run company started by a woman at a time when women didn’t start companies. It has been in business for 19 generations! The recipe for Kikkoman’s soy sauce has been handed down along with a family creed, which is a set of 16 guidelines.
Some Interesting Points from the Documentary
- Kikkoman built the first American manufacturing plant in the year 1973 — it was actually the first Japanese company ever in the US! It was interesting to hear about that time period and how worried people were about having Japanese people “move in” after World War II.
- Kikkoman decided on Wisconsin for the location of their first plant because of the hard-working labor that was found in that part of the country. The Americans said that they integrated well with their new Japanese neighbors by sharing their cultures with each other including sake and kimonos, tennis and all the bad words in their respective languages!
- I was amazed to hear about the risk they took by using so much capital to create this plant. It was really sink or swim for them at that time with this US plant!
- I loved hearing how they make their soy sauce — they naturally brew it using no chemicals in a fermentation process that takes 6 months! They’ll test and test to ensure the quality of the soy sauce. “It’s like checking the health of your children; if you don’t take care of them, then they will grow up poorly.”
- The process is involved and lengthy, which is where the “Make Haste Slowly” phrase comes from.
- I liked seeing these tasting plates that have to note the color of the finished product, which should be reddish brown, and when the circles on the plates appear purple through the sauce, then it’s the right color.
- The soy sauce is said to have all five tastes of salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umami (sort of like savory) and the deep aroma of the soy sauce takes it to a whole other level!
- My favorite part of this was when a woman from the laboratory was describing the flavor of Kikkoman soy sauce. She said something to the effect of: Naturally brewed soy sauce has over 300 elements that produce its unique flavor and aroma. Chemically manufactured soy sauce has very few aromas and is very flat. In this way, great soy sauce, like Kikkoman, can be compared to a fine wine. The more complex the flavor, the higher the quality.
- Then she said, “Soy sauce goes so well with so many foods because the natural flavors and aromas are similar to those in other foods. And then she said that soy sauce goes great with ice cream” because of this! Wow, I’m interested to see if that’s true for my own tastebuds!
- There is a special house for making soy sauce for the Emperor, and the Imperial Household Agency picked Kikkoman as the producer — what an honor!
- There was a profile of an industrial designer who designed the first small bottles of the sauce. He remembers seeing his mother struggle with the heavy old bottles that everyone used to keep under the sinks in Japan. So he made them smaller, hand-held and in the shape of a water droplet, so it doesn’t drip when you pour it. Functionality at its best!
- Soybeans and wheat don’t have any taste when you put them in water. It seems mystical that it takes on such a deep aroma. Before we understood the scientific properties behind fermentation, it was believed that spirits did the work to create this sauce.
- My other favorite part was when they described the sustainability of the soy sauce industry. They explained that it is a very environmentally friendly process for the environment. The only things left are soy cake (used as animal feed) and soy oil, which is used to lubricate the machines! “Our company has been in business for hundreds of years. The reason we’ve survived so long is that we wanted to prosper along with society.”
Truly inspirational! And now about the best part — Kikkoman and Steamy Kitchen are pairing up to offer a Sweepstakes to win a $1000 Visa gift card to be used towards cooking classes!! Just answer the following question: If you were going to pass down a heritage family recipe, what would it be?

You have probably wondered how to get effective consolidation
services through the internet. The government
released billions of dollars to these grants
at the soonest possible time; as many Americans are now being put in a
lot of people do not know about the programs of Consolidation.
An individual that is granted a consolidation Order may want
to know what your options are once it occurs.
This has led to the signing of the American citizens.
The term ‘Bankruptcy’ has become a dying need
of the day.

Thank you for your generosity.

The dutch apple pie that has been passed down through generations. It’s amazing & so worth the work that goes into it.
If you were going to pass down a heritage family recipe, what would it be?
Kikkoman has such a rich history and I use it in so many things that I cook.
The question of what recipe would I pass down as family heritage , is a hard question. I make so many different types of dishes putting my spin on them. I am self taught so it is nothing fancy that I make but my daughters seem to love all of my dishes.
There is a dish that I make that has puled pork that was marinated in kikkoman soy sauce and spices , roasted for 6 hours and then mixed with soy sauce, ginger , garlic and garlic chili served on a toasted french baguette that has been slathered in a creamy garlic chili sauce and topped of with a slaw mix that has cabbage, carrots , cilantro , rice wine vinegar , fresh and pickled jalapenos.
Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Chicken, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and some pea pods… over rice, oh boy!
I could really use this, I would like to learn new techniques in cooking
Kikkoman is the best
Would LOVE to win!

Kikkoman is a staple ingredient in my kitchen, I use it in savory and sweet dishes
Kikkoman has been a mainstay in my wife’s cooking over the years
Awesome
I would pass on “long Rice”. I love soy sauce and I use Kikkoman on everything in my cooking. I use both regular and lower sodium. I make fried rice and regular steamed rice for most meals. Rice is such a wonderful staple and Kikkoman is a perfect taste enhancer. “Long Rice” is a noodle dish my mother makes with pork and chicken in a chicken broth with long rice noodles. You marinate onions, garlic and tomato in a skillet with some EVOO and add to the mix along with Kikkoman Soy Sauce and you have one delicious meal. Growing up we would beg her to make it. The family and cousins also loved it. She does not make much any more-so I have tried to recreate.
Sweet!
Awesome!
This would be great !
Keeping my fingers crossed.

An empty Kikkoman Soy Sauce table dispenser with a red cap makes a great Hummingbird feeder.
I will try to put a video on my You Tube channel – MacH2ube – showing how to do it when I get the time.
An empty Kikkoman Soy Sauce table dispenser with a red cap makes a great Hummingbird feeder.
Turn it upside down and wrap about 18 inches of 1/4 inch copper tubing in a spiral around it one and a half times so that it hangs with the cap at the bottom.
Drill a hole in the end for a screw to attach it above a window, on a fascia board, tree limb or whatever.
Fill with a sugar solution (1 part sugar/4 parts boiling water).
If ants find it, put a little Vaseline on the tubing above the bottle.
Red food coloring will help attract the Hummers at first, after that, the red cap is enough.

Christmas Black Cake- (fruitcake) is one family tradition I will be handing down. This is a rum laced, rich, fruit cake that my mother and grandmother made every Christmas- I remember creaming butter and sugar by hand for hours and the smell of cherry brandy and rum that the fruits would soak in for at least 1 month prior to baking.

I would pass down my Grandma’s Chicken & Dumplings recipe…I just wish I could make it as good as she did 😉
good luck to all!
so interesting thank you so much for this giveaway. fingers crossed
Thanks for sharing the history of Kikkoman’s! It has a rich family heritage, much like the sauces that I use exclusively!
I tweeted – https://twitter.com/hellina2000/status/298451856223522816
I can think of two – my mom’s sherried bread stuffing with fresh sage and parsley and her awesome cheese eggs (we call them cheggs)! Thank you for the giveaway. If I won, I’d probably spend it on classes to learn traditional Chinese cooking or maybe Pan-Asian. I love so many Asian flavors!
Grandpa’s jambalaya
Think there’s a great place for mass brands that don’t cut corners and small artisans for local use.

I would pass down my grandmother’s recipe for guacamole.
My mother would never use any other brand of soy sauce except Kikkoman’s. She said it was the best. She passed away at age 75 in 2003. Because of her, I’ve never used any other brand either. Kikkoman rocks!
I would love to win this – sounds amazing and fun!
I should give the cooking lessons. That is, if all you do is cook on the grill.
“If you were going to pass down a heritage family recipe, what would it be?”
Though I don’t make it often, coming from the south it would have to be Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy. We usually eat it with rice, baby peas, and sliced or wedged tomatoes. Thanks so much!
A little Kikkoman in meat loaf is good.
https://twitter.com/tweber287/status/298168724924555265
think of the cool cooking techniques you could learn with these cooking lessons.
I would love to win this!
I used Kikkoman’s Soy Sauce in quite a few of my recipes to give them just the right little zap of flavor.

I could buy some high quality ingredient and kitchen tools with this money!
my mom used to can the most delicious peaches in the world. So good
I would share my mom’s Almond Puff. I love this eggy pastry with almonds and vanilla. People are disappointed when she doesn’t make it for a special occasion.
Kikkoman soy sauce is the best! Can’t live without it..
This would be great for me. I’m not the best cook in the world but I’m really trying to eat clean and cooking is a necessary evil when you want to live and eat that way!
My whole family loves my Mom’s chili and I’m sure it will be passed down many generations to come.
Mom’s southern fried chicken
My home made bread recipe is heart healthy and when my son visits me, it’s the only time he eats bread.

It would be my grandmother’s recipe for sage stuffing. The holidays aren’t complete without it.
This a great opportunity to enhance my cooking skills and use my 200+ cookbooks in my library.
I would pass down my mom’s famous fish sauce recipe that she taught me to my future kids.

My mother’s plum tarts
love to win!
I would like to learn knew techniques in cooking
I’ve been reading about the almost mystical benefits of fermented foods recently, something I was not entirely aware of! From adding beneficial bacteria to adding enzymes to helping not only adjust, but also to absorb vitamins… to improving flavor, fermented foods are pretty amazing. I’ve started working Kimchi into the mix!
I love tarragon & feel it is relatively unknown to too many people- it’s the catnip of herbs!! So I’d use my tarragon chicken recipe.
Great sweep
My moms’ prime rib roast with red wine/shallot sauce. So good.

Learn to cook?? That’s why restaurants were invented.
I would love to learn how to be a better cook. Thanks Kikkoman!

I can’t get enough of this stuff. I use it with so many dishes.
I will give my recipe of Red pepper and black bean Hummus.
I would leave my carefully tested recipe collection. One of the most favorites would have to be the edamame dip.
What a great prize! I love Kikkoman products…they just make everything better.
Grandma’s Hoppin’ John
I never have to worry about not having Kikkoman soy sauce when I got eat with my friend Carol, because she always carries a bottle in her purse. It’s easy to get hooked as it goes well with so many things, especially steak. Love it.

My family LOVES a recipe I created out of necessity – we were short on groceries and I combined three simple ingredients that I happened to have on hand.
2 cups of Lundberg wild rice
1 pound uncured/nitrate free bacon
1 pound frozen peas
extra virgin olive oil/salt & pepper/several cloves of garlic/basil
Cook the rice, fry the bacon (saute finely chopped garlic along with bacon), and add the peas (frozen!) to the cooked rice 10 minutes before serving. Chop up the bacon and add to rice pilaf. So simple and so delicious! I hope my daughter makes it for her family.

I would pass down the recipe for my mother’s chilli…or how I fondly refer to it: Madre’s Homemade Goodness
If I were to pass down any recipe it would be the secret to my Ramen broth…for it is the perfect comfort food.

I would choose to pass on the recipe for my grandma’s potato dumplings to represent our German heritage.

Love my mom’s old pot roast recipes.
I love all the homemade giant pots of soup my mom used to make on winter days when i was young. her potato soup was so good.
Fingers crossed for this one.
I’m really not sure I could choose one heritage recipe to pass down to my children. I love trying all sorts of recipes and am always challenging myself to learn new ones. My pita bread recipe would be high up there on my list of favorites.

alot to choose from
Always learning something new. Thanks for the information.
So much to choose from. I would want my daughter to choose our family favorite eggplant parm!
Our food budget would be well served if I could learn some great dishes. Social Security now will limit the number of food disasters I’ve had in the past when I had a full salary.
If I were going to pass down a heritage family recipe it would be my mother’s whole wheat bread. I make it every week for her and dad when they come to my house for lunch.
I have little kids and I would love to get lessons on how to keep them happy with healthy meals.

One of my most treasured gifts is a book full of recipes copied from my grandma’s collection. My aunt put it together for us grandkids after my grandma passed away, and among the recipes she discovered at least 7 different ways to prepare fruit pizza. I’d love to pass one of these on, as I think of her every time I make it.
I’d like to take my grandmothers wonderful old recipes and update them, cut down on the fat and salt. Cooking lessons would help!
Mom’s sauerbraten – MMMMM! No one makes it as good as she does. I would love to expand my knowledge with some cooking classes.
