MUMBAI – Kikkoman India has appointed Chef Manjit Gill as an industry advisor. Kikkoman soy sauce is the market leader not only in Japan but also in the United States and many European countries and is now eyeing the Indian market to achieve the same success.

Gill said, “All the kitchens I have managed have cooked with soy sauce for many years, and for every type of cuisine, I absolutely use Kikkoman,” emphasizing that the umami and aroma are unmatched by other soy sauces.

He added, “The other day I went to the United States and was once again surprised to see how the use of Kikkoman is not limited to Japanese cuisine and sushi but is also regularly used in American Chinese food and a variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes. Kikkoman soy sauce enhances local food culture. Many people in India still associate Kikkoman with sushi and Japanese cuisine, and I want to change that. Once Kikkoman soy sauce is used more widely in dishes other than Japanese food, starting with Indian Chinese cuisine, I believe we will be able to further enhance Indian food culture.”

With over four decades of experience, Chef Gill is renowned for his expertise in traditional Indian cuisine and has pioneered sustainable and healthy cooking practices.
