Product Details

Gluten free soy sauce, 8.5 oz.

Brewed to taste like standard soy sauce without the wheat, so it works anywhere ordinary soy sauce would — stir-fries, marinades, dipping, dressings. If someone at your table is coeliac or avoiding gluten, this is the bottle that lets you cook one dinner instead of two. The gluten free claim is Kikkoman's own.

Directions & Storage

Once opened, the soy sauce will start to lose its freshness and the flavor will begin to change. By refrigerating the sauce, the flavor and quality will remain at their peak for a longer period. As long as no water or other ingredients have been added to the soy sauce, it would not spoil if it had not been refrigerated.

For the best quality, we recommend using the sauces within one month of opening.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

I am coeliac. Is the regular red-cap Kikkoman safe if I only use a little?
No. Kikkoman's standard soy sauce is brewed from water, soybeans, wheat and salt, so wheat is a main ingredient rather than a trace of cross-contact, and there is no safe small amount. This bottle is the one to use instead. If both bottles live in the same kitchen, keep them clearly apart and do not pour the wheat-brewed one into a shared dipping dish.
Is this the same thing as Kikkoman's Gluten-Free Tamari?
No, they are two different products. Kikkoman's Gluten-Free Tamari is brewed from water, soybeans, salt and sugar, with no cereal grain in it at all, while this bottle is brewed with rice standing in for the wheat. Both carry the same gluten-free certification. Kikkoman also sell a 50% less sodium version of the tamari, which this sauce has no equivalent of, so if you want a lower-sodium gluten-free bottle, that is the one to look for.
Who certifies it gluten free, and how strict is that standard?
Kikkoman have it certified by the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, which runs the Gluten-Free Certification Organization programme. That programme sets its limit at 10 parts per million of gluten, which is half the 20 ppm the FDA allows before a product may not be labelled gluten free. So the certification on this bottle is a tighter standard than the legal minimum, not simply a restatement of it.
Does it taste the same as regular Kikkoman?
Kikkoman's own wording differs between the two. They describe the regular soy sauce as aged for months to a mellow flavour with savoury umami, and describe this one as having a mild flavour while claiming the same rich, savoury umami character. The rice-brewed version is the milder of the two. In a cooked dish that gap is hard to pick out; in a raw dipping bowl, where the sauce is tasted on its own, it is easier to notice.
Does it need refrigerating once opened, and how long does it keep?
Kikkoman say that once a bottle is opened the sauce begins to lose freshness and its flavour starts to change, and that refrigerating it keeps the flavour and quality at their peak for longer. Their guidance is to use it within about a month of opening for best quality. That is guidance about flavour rather than the date on the bottle, so check the bottle's own best-before as well.
Why is this bottle 8.5 oz when most listings say 10 oz?
Kikkoman sell this gluten free soy sauce in more than one bottle size. 10 fl oz is the size shown on Kikkoman's own US product page and the one most often stocked; 8.5 fl oz, which is 250 ml, is the smaller bottle of the same gluten free soy sauce. Given Kikkoman's own advice to use a bottle within about a month of opening, the smaller size suits a household that reaches for soy sauce occasionally rather than daily.
Is it vegan, and is it kosher?
Yes to both. Kikkoman list this product as vegan certified and as carrying Orthodox Union kosher certification, alongside the gluten-free certification and a no preservatives added claim. It is also labelled as brewed in the USA.
