Description
Elevate your menu with the clean, robust flavor of Kikkoman Gluten-Free Tamari Soy Sauce. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 1.89 L (1/2 Gallon) bulk jug is the definitive choice for professional foodservice operators across Canada who refuse to compromise on taste or dietary safety. Kikkoman Tamari is traditionally brewed using a higher concentration of soybeans compared to standard soy sauce, resulting in a richer, more complex umami profile. Because it contains no wheat and no added preservatives, it offers a "clean label" solution that meets the growing demand for gluten-free and health-conscious dining options without sacrificing the authentic Asian flavor your customers expect.
Why It Works
- Wheat-Free & Gluten-Free: Certified Gluten-Free, making it the gold standard for celiac-friendly and gluten-sensitive kitchens.
- Preservative-Free Recipe: Brewed with only four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, salt, and spirit vinegar—for a clean, natural taste.
- Rich Umami Profile: Higher soybean content delivers a darker, richer, and smoother flavor than traditional soy sauce.
- Bulk 1.89L Economy: The perfect "intermediate" size for easy handling and efficient storage in busy prep areas.
- Exceptional Heat Stability: Maintains its flavor and color even under high-heat stir-frying or long-simmering braises.
- Fast Calgary Logistics: Stocked locally in Alberta, we provide rapid, tracked shipping across Canada to keep your kitchen stocked.
Use Cases
- The Ultimate Sushi Companion: Offer as the primary dipping sauce for sashimi and rolls to ensure all patrons can dine safely.
- High-Contrast Marinade: Mix with ginger and Crosby’s Fancy Molasses for a gluten-free teriyaki-style glaze for salmon or chicken.
- Savory Salad Dressing: Whisk with sesame oil and rice vinegar for a rich, umami-heavy vinaigrette that clings perfectly to greens.
- Flavor Booster for Soups: Add a splash to Knorr Red Thai Curry or beef broths to deepen the savory "meatiness" of the dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Tamari and regular Soy Sauce?
Standard soy sauce is brewed with wheat and soybeans. Tamari is brewed primarily with soybeans and little-to-no wheat. Kikkoman Tamari is 100% wheat-free, making it darker, richer, and gluten-free.
Is this sauce "clean label"?
Yes. This specific Kikkoman Tamari is preservative-free and made without artificial colors or flavors, using only non-GMO soybeans.
Can I use this as a 1:1 replacement for regular soy sauce?
Absolutely. While it is slightly richer, it can be used in the exact same measurements. Most chefs prefer it because it provides a more premium flavor profile.
Does it contain MSG?
Kikkoman does not add MSG to their traditionally brewed soy sauces. The "umami" flavor comes naturally from the long fermentation process of the soybeans.
What is the shelf life once opened?
While highly shelf-stable due to salt content, we recommend using it within 3-6 months of opening and keeping it in a cool area to preserve the delicate brewed aromatics.
