25 Mushrooms Kitchen Class with Five Oriental Recipes Cooked with Kikkoman

I've been familiar with Kikkoman since childhood.  But, I was amazed to find out that it originated in the 1700s in Noda City, Japan.  With its long years of perfecting its brewing process, it's no wonder that it is now distributed to around 100 countries.  Before we began our class, we blind tested Kikkoman Soy Sauce with a mystery soy sauce.  We could see, smell and taste the superiority of Kikkoman and that's because of the quality ingredients that they use and the proper way of aging and fermenting the naturally brewed sauce.
