Who would have thought Kikkoman's remarkable flavor enhancing properties even work on chocolate?

Rich in amino acids, Kikkoman Soy Sauce is a natural flavor enhancer, that can be used instead of MSG or HVP to give products umami without adding a noticeable "soy sauce"-or even savory-flavor. If Kikkoman can do this for chocolate, imagine what it can do for you.

Now, we're not suggesting that you add soy sauce to chocolate formulations. But here's the point: If it enhances chocolate, imagine what Kikkoman can do for dressings, sauces, marinades, entrees, snacks and more. Kikkoman - the ingredient with natural flavor enhancement - pictured above, chocolate sauce made with sugar, milk (evaporated milk, water), light corn syrup, unsweetened chocolate, sweetened chocolate, butter, Kikkoman Soy Sauce and vanilla.
