"... He has said he wanted to design a small bottle because of his childhood memory of his mother pouring soy sauce from a big half-gallon bottle to a tabletop dispenser. ..."
Kikkoman introduced this bottle in 1961, and a favourite of mine because it's easy to locate and use.
Wow, the things you learn from HN. I'm a huge fan of the VMax, its a dream motorcycle for me .. and now whenever I use it to go get some good grub, I'll have a connection with the Soy bottles at the good grub place. Its the little and trivial things like this that make life pleasant. (Actually, I think Kenji made many, many things pleasant.)
I added kikkoman soy sauce to my food from the moment I stopped eating baby food. RIP Kenji! Thank you for your contribution. I enjoyed using it every day of my life.
