Umami season is here
The essence of this season lies in its taste: umami. Savoury, intense and warming from the inside out. Umami isn’t a spice—it’s the fifth taste, alongside salty, sweet, sour and bitter. It gives every dish a distinctive and delicious depth. Our festive recipes are also rich in umami. They invite you to discover this variety of tastes. From hearty to sweet, from traditional to exotic—you’ll find inspiration for cosy evenings and festive get-togethers. Kikkoman Soy Sauce is the all-round seasoning that helps with everything from party finger food for dipping and snacking to soups, international or regional dishes and even tasty side dishes—let yourself be surprised by flavours that warm body and soul!
Traditions are something special. Particularly in the kitchen. Some dishes instantly say: yes, this is the taste of the winter holiday season—festive, rich, familiar. Here are some of our favourites from home. Enjoy!
It’s always a pleasure to broaden your culinary horizons. Slow-roasted honey ham, stuffed pumpkin, glazed turkey, fresh clams—just as every family has their favourites, so does every country. Discover the festive dishes of our European neighbours and begin your own traditions!
