The red-cap tabletop bottle has a long design history. Check that the current sauce and bottle listing fit what you want to buy.

Design history

Kikkoman dates the tabletop bottle design to 1961 and credits designer Kenji Ekuan. A retailer currently lists a 150 ml glass tabletop dispenser.

History is not a taste test

The historical photograph does not establish that today’s listed product has the same label or sauce. The photographed unit is not confirmed as the current 150 ml retail SKU. No taste or pouring-performance test is claimed.

Before you buy: Check the sauce variety, bottle size, ingredients, package details, delivery address, shipping, tax and current stock on the retailer listing.
